I personally believe there's a lot of lore and RP potential for sea wolves, but hellsguard don't have much going for them other than being traveling mercenaries or Ala Mhigan refugees. (Not lying - three hellsguard are found in Little Ala Mhigo.)
The sea wolves are so much more than pirates; they are the founders of Limsa Lominsa, the center of the world for basically the entire population of Man in Vylbrand.  The roegadyn are the race of Admiral Merlwybb, my personal favorite character in the entire game world for her complicated morality. Sea wolves are also an excellent choice to reflect the culture war in Limsa Lominsa between former pirates and those who wish to establish order.
In short, I would love to play a roegadyn if I was creative enough to make a non-Farendaire character and willing to pay for a level one transfer.
