Before you decide on a race you need to decide what it is you want to do:

Scout all worlds early and get a complete overview ASAP -- you want JOAT for free scanners.

Watch unobserved, and/or keep an eye on what is spent on tech -- you want SS, note they will also get good red coverage early, good pen scanners if you take NAS will take a while.

Watch late game skirmishing (including cloaked fleets) -- IS, it'll take a while to build tachys, but when you do, you'll have good red coverage of the galaxy.

Watch ship designs -- WM.

For JOAT or IS you probably want NAS, WM does not want NAS. SS can go either way. One way to get 'pen' coverage is to place a single scout in orbit of every world. If you do this, you should try to be the last player.

All of them will want elec cheap to pump out better scanners. SS might want energy or bio cheap to get to robber barrons sooner.
