Welcome Gilles!

Unfortunately, you've posted this in the forum for Warhammer Fantasy! The 40k section is a little further down the forum list!

Depends. If you're in it for the power, then you won't really go wrong with Necrons... out of those listed, Dark Eldar comes in second place, Eldar third, and Tyranids dead last. Just be aware that who/what is overpowered and who/what is completely useless changes on a fairly regular basis.

If you're in it for the pretty miniatures, your first stop should be the Games Workshop site(http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/home.jsp), where all their models are shown for your perusal...

If you're in it for the fluff, then you can start out with the Lexicanum articles;
Eldar: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Eldar#.UBgVtaOHd8E
Dark Eldar: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Dark_Eldar#.UBgVyKOHd8E
Tyranids: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Tyranids#.UBgV26OHd8E
Necrons: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Necrons#.UBgV7KOHd8E
From there, the Codices can help fill you in, and if you have any questions, just post 'em here and we'll do our best to answer.
