.. it'd be dwarves. They have the fewest class options (two of three require empowerment, and are therefore more rare), mediocre stats, a medium XP penalty, can't travel underwater, and have a vuln that isn't so hard to exploit. (especially because carrying a water-based weapon or water elemental is useful against three other very common races). While 25 con and resist_magic are nice, I don't think they make up for the drawbacks.

But it's not such a big difference. A case could be made for half-elves (of certain classes) and svirfs being equally underpowered.
