Here's a run down of the LRTs and my personal thoughts on each...
IFE - you get the fuel mizer, a spanky engine and almost essential for a QS race. I think IT and JOAT are probably the only races that can get away with NOT selecting this, HE can too if they use the mini colony hull with a cargo pod to transport people and minerals. My advice : take it if you can get it.
TT - 30% max terraform. It's VERY costly and requires the much unused bio tech. SD and CA should look at taking this, AR too. For everyone else it's probably not worth the cost.
ARM - popular amongst AR, useful if your hab range is tiny. Probably not worth it for most races.
IS - very handy for AR, almost essential. Most races would find the ultra station handy as well. I think this is a good pick for an IT race since it will allow you to start building transports sooner (space dock).
GR - gives higher research contribution for free. however if you have some tech set to expensive (which i figure most everyone does have at least 1) it's almost wasting the additional bonus.
UR - expensive with little gain. Not found any real use for it yet.
MA - useless, totally useless. Sorry.
NRSE - frees up race points and even better than that it lets you get warp 10 engines sooner. Handy indeed.
CE - not a good idea. Cheap engines, warp 6 restriction (well... one in 10 chance) I think IT and SD can pull this off, no-one else I don't think.
ORBM - VERY VERY handy if you dont plan on orbital mining. Frees up more points and even better it increases max pop by 10% - or in other words it gives you 10% better factories and 10% better mines. Bad idea if you're AR.
NAS - I like this one. Doubles scanning range, good points return. Ok you lose pen scans which sucks but you can live without them, you can also get pen scans from the MT and if you're SS, JOAT, or PP you still keep some pen scanning.
LSP - killer. It's slows your start tragically. Good race point return, but not worth it.
BET - ok makes things cheaper quicker. If you want omega torps, nubs or AMPs - then don't take it. SERIOUSLY don't.
RS - wonderful this one. Beamer vs Beamer and RS does wonders. Cruisers with a couple of sheilds become very deadly. Pick this and don't put armour on your ships. You get almost the same level of survivability, but the ships are lighter and quicker. IS ships loaded with sheilds and jammer 50s with RS can be a real pain in the ass, missiles don't hit and the sheilds regenerate somewhat from beam hits. Worrying. I had major problems with an IS race doing this.
