What race should I choose for EVE online?

So I'm wanting to join the EVE universe when the f2p accounts become available but I'm having trouble deciding what race, and the reason is because I know that alpha clone will only be able to train certain skills so I want to be a race that will have access to skills that fit my play style so I can use the appropriate ships for me.

Im currently thinking about going Gallente or Caldari but obviously a seasoned player will know more than I will

My general play style is very aggressive, through caution into the wind sort of style so being able to tank is important. I would like to have good dps, doesn't have to be amazing but something more than just bait to soak up damage. As for range, I'm not really concerned as long as getting close won't hinder me. And for speed, being fast would be nice but I won't really care all that much if I'm slower.

So in short, I hate glass cannons and low dps tanks. So as long as I do decent damage and don't have to worry about distance or being hit, I'll be happy.

As for if this is for pvp or pve, I would likpe one that can hold its own in both but if I had to choose it would be pve since I'll be a new player and by the time I really get into pvp I'll already know enough to make my own decisions
