What we do in Ilyrias is to give each race a set of base stats, and then everyone gets X points(same for everyone) that they can allocate themselves. We also have a natural max of 18 on any stat, so people can't just put all points into one stat. Incase you messed up, you do get one stat re-allocation after creation in the same manner many games allow you to change race once.
During game play people can also get up to three adjustments, -1 here +1 there, but again still limited to the 5-18 range for all stats.
We went with this method because we have a heavy focus on character customization, but at the same time wanted to keep things fair and balanced.
