I'm just going to point out that Dwarven Commoners aren't actually commoners. That would be like Smiths, or Miners, or Nug Wranglers. They're petty criminals at the bottom rung of the Dwarven Mafia. All you do in the Commoner origin is stab/punch/crush people.

Dwarven Nobles, however, have a dude they can make talk to merchants for them. There's also a lot of politics and backstabbing alongside the basic combat and fighting--and there's just as much if not more fighting.

Further, as a Dwarven Noble you have access to the flat out best piece of starting equipment when you leave on your way to the surface

It is also second only to the Human Noble Origin in later game story tie-ins.

As for awesomeness of each origin:

Dwarven Noble > Mage > Dwarven Commoner = City Elf = Human Noble > Dalish Elf.

Though I'm not sure on the tie ins later on so far as the Dalish go.
