Here is a list of the characteristics. Depends how you want to play the game.
Bosmer (Wood Elves), excel in stealth roles and archery.
Altmer (High Elves), excel in magic roles, to the point where their physical combat suffers.
Dunmer (Dark Elves), are good with swords, bows and destruction magic.
Argonians have natural resistance to most poisons and diseases, and can breath under water. They are also good in stealth roles.
Bretons are excellent in magic roles, and don't suffer as much physically as the Altmer because of it.
Imperials are good light infantry, with good social abilities, making them good for merchant type character builds.
Redguard are brutal fighters, able to stand blow for blow with all but the strongest of enemies.
Khajiit have superb agility and stealth, making them good for assassin/thief builds, and can also see in the dark.
Orsimer (Orcs) are powerful fighters, I've always prefered to use two handed or blunt weapons when playing as an orc, mainly because it adds to the overall appearance of the character.
