I want my party leader to be a Paladin so I can wield Holy Avenger and I was looking at either Aasimar for all the wisdom and Cha bonuses (plus favored class) or human just for multiclassing to a PalofHelm/fighter.
What race should I pick?
If I pick Order of Helm and thus multi to a fighter, will I face an XP penalty if I picked the Aasimar?
Aasimar or Human for Paladin?

Take an Aasimar.
The Holy Avenger isn't that great.
It's a 1-handed longsword. You'll only find it near the end of the game and you can do more damage with other weapons because of the extra strength bonus you get for 2-handed weapons.
The stat bonusses paladins get if you find it are very useful on the other hand.
I had a fighter4/paladin x for specialization in longswords because of it, but she used greatswords instead, even after finding it.
I recommend to take a paladin3/fighter with low wis since paladin spells are not that great. Stats: 18-13-18-3-8-20
Strength is essential for dealing out damage, 13 dex is needed for many combat feats, con for HP and saves, int is useless, wis gives only a small part of the enormous bonusses charisma gives.
If you raise only strength at level up and use a 2-handed weapon your tank will do enough damage to defeat even the hard monsters with a damage reduction of 15.
A pure paladin is probably superior to a fighter4/paladin at the end because he gets the holy power spell at level 15.
