I can just see it now.

I believe a hobbit would be most fitting for me. I enjoy the simple pleasures of life (food, music, socializing with family and friends) and tend to be a pretty practical person. I enjoy the natural world and wouldn't mind spending many days sitting next to the fire reading a good book. That all seems pretty hobbit-esque to me.

Oh, I also have hairy toes. I'm 6'1, though ... hmm ... I could blame that on ent-draughts.

Oh, and for all the peple who pick elves to live forever ... wouldn't that get terribly boring after a while? Personally, I'm incredibly curious about what happens after death. Even if it meant the end of me completely, at that point I'd be dead anyway and so wouldn't care that it was all over, so no biggie.

Well I don't want to get into a philosophical debate here, but it would certainly give me a chance to reach perfection in at least one field that matters (that is, playing Angband).

Being a Dunadan would suit me fine (although I'm more tempted by the northern Ranger-y end of things, personally) - an extra 30-60 years of lifespan plus a soupcon of Elvishness for most of them.
In addition to that, my genealogist parents would have a field day with c. 6,000 years of recorded ancestry...

Well, as long as he doesn't say he's Klingon. Then I'd be worried.

Dunadan. Who can compare with the nobility of spirit and body, the extended lifespan, the great wisdom and foresight

I said hobbit, though to be fair, I already am a hobbit and not a human. I stick to my roots
