How much should Bards care about their weapon stat? (i.e. STR or DEX)
What builds might you use a halfing or gnome for?
Bards generally use dex weapons since their skills are usually dex based.
If you are still talking about bards, lightfoot halfling and forest gnome are good choices. Did you have anything specific in mind?

Sorta kinda not really.
Like, basically what I'm thinking about is, the Bard's weapon selection is poo poo if you start as one at level 1 (like when you have to be the healer, or whatever). Once you get to level 3, you can go Valor Bard and have some more options (with the added burdenfeature of getting to sell and replace your armor and weapons) 
So starting as a Fighter and then multiclassing Bard can work (hurray for getting all weapon/armor proficiencies) but I dunno exactly what weapon might be most useful in that scenario. Is going heavy armor and dumping DEX any good? Or is it better to not MC and stick with Light/Medium and the limited Bard weapon profs? Or just gently caress weapons, get enough DEX for the +2 AC with Medium armor and use spells all the time?
Alternatively, you can go with a Race that gives you some more weapon proficiencies (Elf, Dwarf) but no CHA bonus... So I guess my question is, would that be even worth playing, as a bard?
Bear with me, but I want to try something out.
What three things is the character you want to make most notable for? These can be anything: "good at fighting", "fly fishing", "sharp eyesight", "silver tongued"
What five things is the character good at, but to a lesser extent than the previous three?
