Caldari
Pros: Drake, Falcon
Cons: Anything which uses hybrids. Even more useless than Gallente hybrid boats.
Conclusion: Only train for the Drake or Falcon. Don't touch hybrids. Caldari is mostly dead-end.
Gallente
Pros: ...Um.... The Dominix is flexible.
Cons: Hybrid weapons. Impossible fitting requirements and stupid ship bonuses. You WILL gimp your ship, this is guaranteed.
Conclusion: Avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid avoid.
Minmatar
Pros: Fast, high damage, great tanks, flexible range, best tracking, capless guns, they get overpowered ships. The Cyclone, Claymore and Sleipnir have an extra slot compared to the other racial counterparts, for no reason.
Cons: People usually say high skill requirements. NOPE. Minmatar get the second largest (And occasionally largest) powergrids AND the easiest to fit weaponry. You core skills can be low. Split weapon systems simply don't exist, as all you need are autocannons and energy neuts, and you still get more dps than everything else. Don't need to train missiles. You'll need to train for shield AND armour tanks? May as well. It only takes like 5 days, and every pilot regardless of race should.
Conclusion: Overpowered. Get these ships.
Amarr
Pros: Can have a big tank. Variable range insta-swap energy crystals are an adequate comparison to Minmatar's ridiculous falloff.
Cons: Slow, most ships are bad. Pretty bad ship bonuses.
Conclusion: The "balanced" ships of EVE, in my opinion. Go with Minmatar instead.
Next year, when CCP balance hybrids, you may find that some ships suddenly become useful. About 2/5 of EVE's ships are bad, simply because hybrids are terrible in every way imaginable.

Yeah I'm not sure when the last time you went up against a dual repped plated myrm with t2 drones was, but I can tell you it wasn't my greatest moment...
But I'm sure any Minmatar ship has enough extra, incomprehensible utility slots to fit a smartbomb or two. That's pretty much guaranteed to subtract at least 80 drone dps from nearly any ship, and completely cripple Gallente ones

In other words... which is the "best" race of them all. The answer to that is... none.
Actually, Minmatar is the best race. It isn't perfect, but the race is better than any else.

Minmatar is most used for solo / small gang versus larger fleets because you can disengage easier (run away). The Rifter is great to learn PVP in.
This is why people always say Minmatar are the best. They aren't, they are just great at a specific tactic.
Minmatar excel in the "niche" role of non-blob PVP
