Race has the best animations/armors on males?
Can’t go wrong with human. Most at its look good on humans and the t3 racial armor is nice. All ele elites are pretty bad and humans get avatar of Grenth which is a nice substitute.
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of male Light armor. Too dress-like, which would be fine except that’s pretty much every set (kinda like how medium sets overuse the trenchcoat look). If you have GW1, the Heritage armor looks pretty decent on male humans.

Everything I say is only in reference to PvE and WvW.
Any light armor classes I’ve done have been eventually re-rolled as Asura.
Gotta love the power glove.
Also:
Their combat animations have a real “Jedi Master Yoda” feel to it if you can dig that.

Here are a few examples of light armor looks that ive made in the past, that involve Male Human.
The best animations on the male side, I’d say are – Asura. Because nothing tops a cute elements casting little power house.
Human is a safe bet. Male humans are not deformed like male norn with drooping manboobs and a hunch and huge gaps between the thighs.
Male humans also have the better male hairstyles.
Personally I like my male sylvari a lot, but that’s because I pick the most “muscular” option and I use the makeover kit to get the short cropped “masculine” hairstyle (the vanilla hairstyles for male sylvari are all too indie boy for me).
The drawback to sylvari/asura/charr is that most game armors are not cultural armors, and especially for charr/sylvari not many armors are made with those races in mind; humans look good in all armors but sylvari/charr/norn/asura look silly without the racial armors.
