There isn't one.
Every race is better at certain things
Caldari: Missiles / jamming
Gallente: Drones / nos
Minmatar: Speed (hit and run style)
Amarr: Armor tanking, and doesn't need to carry more ammo.

minmatar. they're the most skill intensive tough, since u need to train guns and some missiles, armor tanking and some shield tanking skills.

Races only denote attribute and starting ship types.
Pick the race which can stack perception /willpower without gimping your intelligence and memory
I think the numbers work out better to use high Per,Int,Wil,Mem,Chr if you plan on going drone heavy.
then just train whatever ship types you want.. Gal/Mimi ship are good for piracy, due to the armour tanking and thus leaving your mids free for EW mods.
Cald are decent for PVE realy and PVP support with ECMs.
Amarr have some nice ships like the curse (good solo ship)
BUT it depends on your style too.
Mimi snipers are widely regarded as the best. (stay 150K+ away from target, but no good solo imo)- the aloso have the fastes ships so make good close range tacklers.
Galantee, good mix of close range, sniping and drones.
Amarr - only flown the curse, and best solo ship i have flown yet.
Cald- mixed skills - so ECM ships for PVP support is the most usefull Cald ships imo.
But definatly stack your attributes. Cald Achura can start with all on 9 barring Charisma and will give you a very balanced character.
Good luck

Even though I'm not Gallente I have to say I kinda like their Command ship.
Eos
Battlecruiser Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Medium Hybrid Turret damage and 7.5% bonus to Armor Repairer effectiveness per level
That 7.5% turns a T2 Med Armor repaire into 460 armor repaired every.. 9.5 seconds. That's a mear 2.4 armor per second slower then a T1 Large Armor repairer.
Command Ships Skill Bonus: +50 m3 extra Drone Bay space and 3% bonus to effectiveness of Information Warfare Links per level
Lets face it.. 250m3 on top of the already 50m3 Drone space gives you the ability to load up on 12 Heavy Drones, considering you can only control 5 at a time, this gives you WAY WAY more ability to customize your damage. Hell you could load up with 3 of each damage type..
7 yes 7 Hypid Turret Hardpoints.
5 Med slots.
5 low slots.
The only thing it kinda sucks at is Armor resistances. And this thing is an Armor tank, with that huge armor repair bonus you'd be stupid to make a shield tank out of it.
So 4 low slots to buff your armor resistances.
With the right hardeners you can get this (T1 stuff and no skill bonuses)
71.1 EM
83.74375 EX
88.44 KI
76.1575 TH
So far, for 1v1 (and missions) this is by far a very VERY sweet setup. Even a battleship I think would be hard pressed to go Toe to Toe with an Eos.

QFT
The way I look at the races...
Caldari: Missiles/Electronic Warfare/Shields/Railguns
Gallente: Drones/NOS/Blasters/Armor
Minmatar: Big mix. Projectiles/Missiles/Drones/Shields*
Amarr: Energy weapons/Armor tanking
Right now Amarr's kinda nerfed, but if you train their ships and weapons they may get some boosts in the near future(In other words, go train up Amarr skills if you wanna gamble your character.  )
*Not entirely sure about that. As I recall, the spectrum goes something like...
Shields --- Caldari - Minmatar - Gallente - Amarr --- Armor

As far as ships/modules and base skills there is no best race. But as far as attributes, I'd have to say Achura will give you the best pure PvP attributes (low charisma, close to equal everything else).

Yah, it is Achura monk hands down. The learning advantage is incredible for any PvP-related skill.

Its all about getting the right ship, skills and set up for the job and then using that ship properly. You need to play to its strengths and weaknesses.
Each ship has a specific role to play within its catagory, and its more important to have the right skills for the ship, and utilise how you kit that ship out according to how you intend to use it.
Each time I've moved into a new set of ships, I've lost one due to 'not quite getting it right'. PVP is a very harsh learning curve, especially if you go up against the more experienced pilots....

Fair question...
The best race for PVP is be a CCP's "employee" to influencing the war outcome.

There isn't a best, however, I find Minmatar and Amarr the most challenging and therefore the most fun to fly.

honesty, races should get bonuses for using their ships. IE caldari person using caldari ships = bonus to whatever.

each race excells at specific combat related things.
amarr:
are the race with the most cap efficient ships, they use cap hungry weapons and have solid armor tanks which make em very resilent on the battlefield.
they use Capdrain tech to fight prolonged capacitor intense battles. their favorite EW is Tracking disruptors.
they have also some minor ships with dronebays and some missle ralated ships.
Caldari:
favorize missle systems and heavy shieldtanks. shields are very cap intensive but can compensate huge amouts of damage for limited time. caldari have also some very dedicated longrnage gunnery platforms utilising railguns to an extreme extend.
they use EW in form of ECM jammers which jam enemy ships so they are totally defensless. however ECM is only effective if u use the special caladari ECM ships.
Gallente:
this race is best described by "close and personal".
gallente favor heavy blasters and good armor tanks. they deal the heaviest damage on the battlefield but also have the hurdle of close range. their ships depend on range dictation and make good use of propulsion technology. Drones are the secondary weapon type of the gallente. these lil buggers are very nasty and do a good chunk of dmg if used by dedicated drone ship pilots. they also make use of railguns but not at those high rnages reached by the caldari. however the lack of rnage is compensated by the amout of damage gallente railboats deal.
their favorite EW are remopte sensor dampers greatly reducing the enemies sensor range so the target cant attack from distance and must come close into the gallenteans deadly weaponrange.
Minmatar:
these guys are eve's underdog. they posses the lightest and fastest ships in eve and can deal quite a punch with their closerange autocanons or hurl enourmous amouts of damage across decent distances with their howitzer artillery canons while still remain agil to outmaneuver the enemy. their combat philosophy is to hover like a butterfly and sting like a bazooka.
they use both shield and armor tanks but have difficulties to sustain these tanks compared to amarr or caldari. they have some reallly useful combat ships and make good use of skirmish tactics and EW.
their favorite EW is everything propulsion oriented like stasis webifiers and warp scrambling technology aswell as combat perfomrnace enhancing EW like target painters or tracking links. they are also using missles and drones but not as heavy as caldari or gallente. they are deffeniteley the most skill intensive race out there.
