And you have Corellia and the Corellian Jedi. They live mostly on that planet and can have children and marriage.
How are Corellian Jedi different than other Jedi anyway, besides being from Corellia?

Apart from working alongside CorSec, having families and the wearin' o' the green, not much from what I can tell. Although, I am just going off what it says in Wookieepedia, my first-hand EU knowledge is limited to say the least.

Does anybody care to work out how Species are represented in the Jedi Order? I know that humans are the most numerous, with Twi'Leks possibly in second..

I'm afraid I've never really thought about attempting a species breakdown of the Jedi. I assume it would be roughly similar to the species breakdown of the Republic, but I have no idea of what that would be.
The best estimate might be to estimate it from the Jedi you see in the movies. The Jedi Council is mostly non-human - this is a breakdown I did awhile ago for a fic with the human in boldface:
TPM seating order, going from the door, to the left, clockwise:
Depa Billaba
Eeth Koth
Yarael Poof
Adi Gallia
Oppo Rancisis
Even Piell
Yaddle
Saesee Tiin
Ki-Adi Mundi
Yoda
Mace Windu
Plo Koon
ATOC seating order, going from the door, to the left, clockwise:
Depa Billaba?
Eeth Koth?
Horn-on-head guy
Adi Gallia?
Oppo Rancisis
Even Piell
Shaakâti
Saesee Tiin
Ki-Adi Mundi
Yoda
Mace Windu
Plo Koon
ROTS seating order, going from the door, to the left, clockwise:
Stass Allie
Person sitting between Kit Fisto and Stass Allie
Kit Fisto
Saesee Tiin
Orange-greenish head guy
Anakin Skywalker
Agen Kolar
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Ki-Adi Mundi
Yoda
Mace Windu
Plo Koon
Almost everyone is a different species, so there must be lots of non-humans. And we don't even know what species Yoda is. But in the Arena in AOTC, you see lots of humans fighting. Most of the bodies in the Temple in ROTS looked human, but it's hard to tell.

I'll be off to Worldcon for the week. Don't burn the Temple down while I'm gone.

So how exactly does a Jedi Knight/Master choose their padawan anyway? Do they just go to a group of Jedi Initiates and go " Eeney Meeney Miney Moe" ?

It's really not stated. From the JA books, an individual master looks over the choices and picks one. Presumably they use the Force as a guide to see which one 'feels' right. Or circumstances throws them together, as was the case for Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in the JA books.
For Obi-Wan, Anakin was an odd choice, since he trained him because he promised Qui-Gon that he would.
In the Clone Wars movie, Obi-Wan supposedly asked the Council to send him a new Padawan, presumably sight-unseen. But it is strongly hinted that the padawan was meant for Anakin all along, a ploy to give Anakin more responsibility that will help mature him. But being assigned a padawan in the middle of a war is highly unusual, so that wouldn't be a standard.
However, this implies that the Council can assign a padawan to a Jedi Knight to train, if they think that both of them will benefit from the pairing. Interesting possibilities there.

But what if 2 Masters/Knights both wanted the same padawan?

There's evidence for that in the EU as well, i.e. Yoda assigning Scout to Jai Maruk in Yoda: Dark Rendezvous.

At least Corellians have it easy.  They train their own child. Nejaa trained Valin or Hal Horn as he was known after the Clone Wars and purge and Hal trained Corran.
