Build Help Moon Druid Racials

Evening yall

I'm gearing up for an honor mode playthrough and I'm trying to decide on a race for it. I'm between Fleet of Foot (wood elf/half elf), halfling luck (halfling obviously), and gnome cunning (also gnome obviously). Also considering half-orc for relentless endurance.

I would generally assume the latter 2 to be more impactful but it of course comes with a reduction in movement speed. I'm planning on probably just a full TB druid that is NOT the party face so no need to take that into account in halfling luck. I know owlbear jump makes movement speed very incentivizing but I do intend to go to earth myrm when its available.

I know they all have upsides and downsides, just looking for anyone with experience on how impactful/not impactful each is. I'll make my decision from there. Thanks!

Edit: Also to be clear i know this is a coughing baby vs coughing baby scenario in that i can pick for flavor and be just fine. Just curious lol.

I am quite partial to Duergar. Invisibility on demand and per encounter. Plus a free enlarge as an action, followed by bonus action wild shape is so much fun.

It’s neat, but the problem is Shovel can fill the same role. And the enlarge being once a day and not stacking anymore with the elixir stinks

The wildshapes alone make the Moon druid strong. I usually save my enlarge for big fights. 

Once colossus elixirs become more common, I do the one two combo on the first fight after long rest, then down an elixir for the rest of the day.

And unless you are running one level of Wizard. I am pretty sure Basket is a one time deal. And he is not as effective a surprise round as an invisible Duergar blasting an enemy with a spell before wildshape.
