Troglodyte is probably the most common choice. The biggest complaint I've ever seen is the human wizard wanting to use alter self to take on a large size. All the large size creatures in the core are monstrous humanoids and that's not allowed. That makes the one-size increment up frustrating since there are no Large humanoids to choose.
