We just started a game of CoT, I am playing a ranger. Now I picked human as my first favoured enemy. I was wondering what should be my 2nd favoured be? I was considering evil outsider or undead. What would be a better choice?

Rangers
Rangers find many reasons to wander Cheliax. Many twisted beasts not seen elsewhere exist in the empire of devils, fascinating to rangers who seek to hunt or tame particularly rare species. Rangers with a particular bent toward tracking and destroying creatures often find employ even in major cities, as even after centuries of rule the country holds many wildernesses. Thugs and brigands of every stripe cause havoc throughout the country, and a ranger adept at hunting humanoids can be an asset to city guards and noble houses alike. In the ancient and often ruined streets of Chelish cities, restless spirits can linger, guarding the treasure living adventurers now seek. Of course, in a country ruled by diabolists, rangers with a penchant for hunting the fiend-blooded prove extremely valuable—and extremely dangerous.A ranger’s best choices for favored enemies in Council of Thieves are (listed alphabetically): humanoid (human), outsider (lawful), outsider (evil), outsider (native), undead. Good secondary choices include aberration, animal, construct, fey, humanoid (giant), magical beast, and monstrous humanoid. Opportunities to fight all monster types occur in the Adventure Path, but the ones listed above are most common.
A ranger’s best choice for favored terrains are urban and underground. Good secondary choices include forest, mountain/hills, swamp, or water. Other favored terrain choices are poor selections for the Council of Thieves Adventure Path.
So really your good to pick either one of those two and have fun. :)

I'd say either are good choices, but I would choose undead first, then evil outsider.
Really, choose whichever makes the most sense roleplay-wise, it won't make that much of a difference.
I would choose evil outsider or undead before lawful outsider or native (tiefling, rakshasa, aasimars) outsider, though.
