Everyone comes into this game with biases, I personally chose going Caldari simply because they looked cool. But being in this game for a month so far I've noticed direct differences between races yet I've never been really able to define them to a good point.
I'm going to give a brief of observations on all the races, I want to hear everyone's opinion on what race is the best for ships based on their best explanation.
Caldari
-Their ships rely mostly on CPU based add-ons, having the most CPU power and the most Mid-slots of any race out there, and the least Low-slots.
-They rely on more shield strength than hull strength, of which they have the least as well as the worst structure Hp.
-Their Industrial Ships are very simplistic and are some of the best, IMLO.
-They have the least amount of Drone carring capabilites.
-According to statistics on the Map of EVE they're one of the more popular races in EVE.
-The race's favourite turret is the Railgun, but their ships usually have more Missile Launchers than any other.
-Their ships look the most "human" out of all of them.
Gallante
-Their ships have the most Drone space out of any race in the universe.
-They have the most Structural sound ships.
-One the most popular races along with Caldari.
-Middle ranged CPU, Power, Shield and Hull.
-Favour blasters, and turrets over Launchers.
-Roundest ships
Minmitar
-Favour projectile turrets.
-Fastest and smallest ships, with alot of sharp points.
-Like Gallante, they have middle ranged fittings.
Amarr
One of the most off-balanced stat races out there, they have
-The most hull Hp
-The least shield Hp
-The most Cap points
-The most Powergrid points and the least CPU points.
-The smallest amount of Med-slots, the highest amount of Low-slots.
-They lean towards pulse turrets, over launchers.
-"Beetle" like ships
So that's my best description of all the races in ten-minutes, critize as you like, and be as biased as you want. Find out which race is best suited to do what!

Your character race is completely irrelevant to what ships you fly. You can train for any ship without any special race bonuses or penalties.
You can't generalize all faction ships either. What is best for some is not best for others, it depends on your favorite playstyle

Pretty sure the Gallente have the most hull hitpoints, not Amarr.
Gallente have the best Tech 1 haulers, while the Amarr has the top hauler (in terms of m3) T2 hauler.
Minnie aren't really "mid-range" fittings any more than a Gallente is a short range. They have the longest range guns (1400mm) and they have some of the shortest (optimal range) guns being autocannons.
But of course we all know the Amarr to be the best, All Hail the Empire!

my advice to anyone is: train all the frigates, and maybe all the cruisers. decide what you like most, and specialise in that race

You missed out that Amarr are the best at armour tanking in general.
Caldari's development has been in EW and shield tech. The ships are practical, and designed to look practical.
Gallente developed drones tech to deal with the Caldari in the war, and this remains a defining feature. Otherwise, their ships are a bit average, but well designed. Style is as important as function.
Minmatar, facing a traditional enemy that outnumbers them and has more advanced tech, favour hit and run tactics. Their ships are faster, and with artilleries at least, their weapons do high burst damage, but become less effective over time. Mostly lean towards armour tanking, but there are a couple of ships that can shield tank well. No attention has been paid to aesthetics at all.
Amarr are slow, relentless powerhouses. Lots of cap to run those armour tanks and laser batteries. Some tech 2 ships developed by the Khanid lean more towards Caldari thinking though, given the close ties between Caldari and Khanid. The ships are designed to look like a projection of power and wealth - there is nothing in Eve to match the sight of a Golden Fleet of Amarr warships.

Surely this topic should ahve labelled, "what race SHIPS are best?"
it's not like there are special racial abilities as in AD&D etc.........
how about, "what choices in char design are best?"
Failed Carebear.... have a heart eh?

Rogue Drones > all others.
Just read The Eight Plague story in E:ON issue 2 and you'll understand.

Actually.
* Gallente have more hit points in hull than Amarr has.
* Caldari characters are most plentiful by far with the other three more or less even (Minmatar least even).
* Gallente are supposed to favour blasters, but four times out of five railguns work much better.
* Caldari:
- Slowest
- Least agile
- Mid slots over low slots
- Strongest, longest, and slowest sensors
- Highest capacity Freighter
* Gallente:
- Low slots over med slots (more or less to the same extent as Amarr ships)
- Best industrials
- Favours armour
* Minmatar:
- Most agile
- Balanced mids and lows
- Weakest, shortest, and most fast sensors
- Mixed turret and missiles
- Over all favours neither shield nor armour
* Hull/Structure hit points are not suitable to be taken into consideration. They are your last prayer of warping away when you've failed, and some times more than not, hull hit points will just make you die one volley later. Any other time, the difference in hit points is not enough to delay the death by that last volley...

The best race is the Caldari. They have the Raven, which will WTFOMGBBQ any other BS in game from any range while tanking like hell. And since 50% of playerbase is Caldari, if CCP would actually try to balance them they'd all start crying and leave the game, so CCP just keeps making them better very patch. Soon Raven can kill any ship with torps (again). Damn spoiled Caldari....

As hindsight I should have gone Minmatar ships (either created Minmatar character or just trained those ships from the beginning) 
As Caldari are overwhelmingly popular you might actually get some advantage doing things differently. Nothing specific, but... At least their battleships seem to rock for me. I've just told as Caldari that I'll most usually probably die first in fleet fight  sigh

Ships mean nothing, the Amarr are chosen of God and thus destine for greatness, all that have not sideed with them will be converted or destoryed.
((OOC: I have found that lasers have the distinct advanatge of not ever running out of ammo. Plus the ability to switch crystals on the fly make is easy to configure for long, medium and short range all in the same ship. ))

First id like to say no race is best you can train for any ship in this game
Also ive tried all races ships so heres my take on them ill start with caldari
CALDARI
Best human looking ships
Bad armour tankers
Best at shield tanking
Good long ranged railguns
Best with missiles/can do all damage types
Best mid slots so best at things like shield tanking ECM etc
Slow ships generly some exeptions but not many.
AMARR
More Sinister looking ships
BEst at armour tanking
Cant shield tank
Some very nice laser wepons no need for ammo
Lots of low slots so some good armour tanking possabilitys
Slow ships
Has a lot of cap [Mainly because lasers use cap instead of ammo}
Huge ammountt of armour.
GILLENT [The best a man can get  ]
A little above average armourtankers but no amarr.
Have some good blaster wepons if a bit low ranged
Best at using drone [some would say insane]
Average capacitors
Average speed
MIMITAR
Interesting looking ships
FAstest around and lightest
Powerfull Projectile wepons Slow rate of fire but largly compensated by skills
Average in missile use
Average at either shield or armour tanking
Can do both armour and shield tanking but at below average level
Well here is what i could think off i hope it helps

The one least has chosen to play as you'd have less competition in events geared towards these or for their agents and other treats as the galaxy grow more and more xenophobic.
