Aesthetics and cultural backgrounds are big factors for me. There are races I won't choose for my main just because they don't fit the way I see the character. I carry the same basic character skeleton over through every game, so I find something that fits him.
Also, the clans differ in stats from the other. It differs for each race, but some clans have higher melee stats and the other higher magical stats, etc.
