Simple answer as far as my views are concerned: Men.
Why?

You're a Man and you die = you have no idea what will happen
You're an Elf and you die = you return and chill with your grandpa in Aman or can even be reincarnated if you were cool enough

Why the comparison regarding death? Because death is the ultimate fear. It is the unknown behind it that Men fear - fear of losing all they had and never regaining it. Elves do not have such a feeling. As such, the answer is obvious.
