Help with a Warblade (mostly ability scores)

[Zweisteine]

So, I've been trying to make a warblade for an adventure that starts tomorrow, and have been stopped by my terrible indecisiveness, so I turn to the playground for help.

I am specializing in Diamond Mind and Iron Heart, and will likely come across the Sword for the specific discipline I choose.
At this point, all I know about my fighting style is that I will be using either a two-handed weapon, or a one-handed weapon (and a shield). Two-handed seems best, but I prefer diamond mind, which has a rapier as a signature weapon...

I have decided to play an Elf, and head for Eternal Blade, but I can't decide which type of Elf to play, and what set of ability scores to use. I've considered High, Gray, Wild, Wood, Snow, Desert, Arctic, and Fire Elves, and have yet to choose which is the most useful.
I have to choose from these ability score arrays (every good possibility using those races and my rolls):
{table=head]WIS|CHA
14|13(or11)[/table]


{table=head]STR|DEX|CON|INT
16|18|14|14
16|18|16|14
16|18|14|16
18|16|14|14[/table]

{table=head]STR|DEX|CON|INT
14|18|14|16
14|18|16|14
14|18|16|16
14|18|14|18[/table]

{table=head]STR|DEX|CON|INT
16|16|14|16
16|16|16|14
16|16|16|16
16|16|14|18[/table]

{table=head]STR|DEX|CON|INT
14|16|14|18
14|16|16|16
12|18|14|18
12|18|16|16[/table]

Please help me!

Your best option is likely the 18/16/14/14 array.

Strength is the most important ability score, full stop.

Dexterity is pretty much inferior to Constitution in every possible way, specially since you are going to focus Diamond Mind. But the race puts a hamper on it.

Intelligence is nice to have on a warblade, but there is honestly no reason to focus on it.

Thanks for the advice!

Snow elf seems good. No hit to con is useful and you don't need charisma. Are you going elf for Eternal Blade prestige class?
