Seriously, there is no best in ES games. Each race has it own strengths and weaknesses. It all just depends on which of those you prefer. For example, since you mentioned using mysticism and alteration, an Altmer or Breton immediately leap to mind, a both those races start with bonuses to magicka. OTOH, a Bosmer starts with a +10 bonus to sneak, which is also handy for a thief/assassin type character.
Personally, I never look at these things when creating a character. I pick a race based upon whatever RP background I have in mind for the character. Plus I like to try every race at least once, so I spread around my racial choices just so I can see what they are all like. I found it can also be especially fun to play against the racial strengths/stereotypes, such as playing an Altmer barbarian, or an orc mage.
