I've found that a low ranks, the felar weight thing is a problem. I've always like cloud giant rangers for some odd reason. Mainly because they hit like trucks. Very large trucks. Advantages of Felar rangers... backraking most people, the added dex with wilderness familiarity makes you jsut about unhitable in the forest. I prefer having cloud giants because the larger you are, the better you are at bearcharge. Size means everything. Being able to dual wield to like weapons (flaming bite, freezing bite) is also nice when you are prepared to pk. For example, a wasp-blade and blade of flame for the felar types. =) Con is a wash... 22 vs 23. Int is a wash... 16 vs 17. Strength is a big factor.... Hero cloud giant can carry 650 pounds vs 300 or so for a felar. Depends on what you plan on doing with him I suppose. Cloud giants are notoriously hard to rank. Especially at higher ranks... felar, you can choose evil/good beyond gray.
