Felars (250xp penalty) have high dex and con which equates to better defenses and health. Cloud giants(500xp penalty) get fly naturally, a big advantage, good con and strength. Can dual the big weapons. Felars are going to be able to make better use of the ranger's staff since they can dual wield their claws with a staff. I see the claws + staff as the main advantage over a cloud giant. Both have bad vulnerabilites, fire vs mental/holy. Quicksand will be a problem for a felar ranger, so will tripping. I guess its up to you to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each to find which type of race/class combo best suits your role and/or character preference.
