I've completed my last exams on tuesday, so... getting onto trying to updating with some better regularity now that I have a bit of a break to catch my breath. Also a good time to check on my discussion thread.

Yes, kobolds are not particularly resistant to the fae, unless they've been chewing a lot of metal for some reason (kobolds aren't naturally poisonous, but can bio-accumulate most toxins, and are hardy little buggers.)
Humans make the best hosts overall and are favored in that way (most free human settlements either pay a tribute and fealty to the local faries in exchange for some protection and goods, or hide in generational fortresses and vaults aside from the occasional foray or scouting party.)
Goblins are close enough to humans in that respect, but given they already have innate agelessness, which gives rise to a strong tradition of magic users. As well as being historically heavy users of some nasty chemical concoctions, and crude bionics, they don't make the best hosts.
Ghouls 'can' become fae but are strong willed and usually too primal in tastes for either side to see it as a desirable addition. Their use of 'dream magic' and necromancy is also seen as inimical or even heretical to the fae conscience.
Sapient Yeeks are a plentiful option at this point, as most tend to live outcast, tortuous lives due to being freaks of nature. Some yeeks are even former fae who were stripped of their powers and exiled, or experiments and shaped-beasts gone rampant (like the creepers.)
Verhimen make exceptionally poor fae, they (usually) have a particularly strong magical barrier to armor them against direct magical effects such as enchantments, fleshwarping, or mental attacks. That and their resistance to diseases and some common toxins should make them prime warriors against the farie threat.

Though bronze, copper, gold, silver, and the platinum group metals are all of some value to the fae; they actually tend to prefer organic materials such as bone, chitin or certain plastics. Fae 'manufacturing' is one of the setting's few sources of plentiful, refined hydrocarbons (unless it's bog peat, most natural sources long since depleted.)
Also... good eye on the text. Not everything in there is 'on-topic', but much of it is at least tangentially related to the quest.
