It is interesting to see how different tails stack up. Let me know if I am missing any interesting tails.
Monkey Goblin tails with Hard Tail feat. It's a common ancestry that offers both a decent unarmed attack and a hands-free trip. Potentially very useful for thaumaturge builds, and "goblin thaumaturge" just has so many entertaining possibilities for theming.
Sacred Nagaji are great, but I wish they had a feat that would add grapple to their tails. Trip would also be nice, but grapple is the one that I kind of crave and am not getting.

Back when APG first hit, a friend of mine challenged us to create high-level characters where each of us was one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse for his homebrew thing. No daemons.
I chose Pestilence (Plague).
Enter C’thnos, the Undying…17th level Ysoki Alchemist (Toxicologist)
We were a sort of evil superhero team trying to bring about the end of the world and falling spectacularly short. Think The Tick but for bad guys.
I was a geriatric Skave…er…YSOKI professor of chemistry at the University of Lepidstadt. But when we put on our bad guy suits, I’d climb into the marsupial pouch of my huge-sized naked mole rat and dig my way to the secret base.
My god that was so much fun. The world never new that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were put down by environmental hazards, a white dragon, and some crappy die rolls.
Oh, and I had a tail.
It did nothing.

One of the reasons that Anadi are the best is that in their natural form (as great big spiders) they are like 50% butt.
I like to imagine them as like great big peacock spiders, who have brightly colored butts.
♫ I like bug butts and I can not lie
So raise your spinnerets highStruttin’ eight legs, a glam carapace
And a round abdomen in your face
I got webbed, and now I’m stuck
Need Reassuring Presence to find my pluck
Let’s get deep into Skittertalk
Baby, I love to watch you walk
Anadi, it’s you I adore, wanna learn your Lore
My homeboys tried to warn me but we’ve been here before
Win me, spin me in this web I’m in
Take my Friendform, and we’ll begin
Well, weave me, please me, never leave me
And then dang, I saw your Hunter's Fangs!
So biting, inviting (and this song rewriting...)
Even arachnophobes gotta admit you’re dope
Take the average gamer and ask them that
You gotta pack much back
So players, players, has your bugfriend got the butt?
(Yeah, yeah, hell, yeah)
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake that buggy butt, baby got back ♫

If I was a bandit fighting the PCs, and I got grappled by a Nagaji with their arms, I know I'd be disappointed.

Well, we're eventually due a Tian Xia book, right? Nagajor is a pretty significant part of that. It even has the Order of the Poisoned Fang, so there's a clear martial arts tie-in. It's possible that they'll get a few more feats them.

Bandit, being grabbed: "Oh... "
Nagaji: "Wait, what's with that reaction?"
Bandit: "It's nothing. Nevermind."
Nagaji: "....."
Bandit, struggling half-heartedly: "I mean, it's a totally fine grapple, no complaints, but..." *glances meaningfully at the tail*
Nagaji, snapping the bandit's neck: "Why do they always have to make it weird?"

I have a 15 foot long, fully prehensile tail.
Ganzi tails! Enough said!
*looks at artwork of Il'setsya*
*looks back at this post*
*checks artwork again*
No disrespect, Ms. Wyrmtouched, but I think there might be some exaggeration here...

To be fair, there's a lot of art for Il'setsya Wyrmtouched, all with varying amounts of tail.
Official Paizo Art for Il'setsya (scroll down to second image)
There were many images that I found on Google with much longer and shorter tails, some of which I could not link to directly.
The moral of this is that you should draw your own conclusions!
