I am leaning Imperial.
They both kinda suck, so it was hard for me to decide as well. I had to weigh them out based on their qualities and reasons for war.
Stormcloaks:
-Angry about losing worship of Talos
-Want an independent Skyrim
-Racist sons-of-bitches
Imperials:
-Responding to the threat to keep it in order
-Didn't actually ban Talos worship... they want it back too.
-Trying to stabilize things because of the threat of the Aldmeri Dominion, who they already lost to
I side with the Imperials, even though I usually like the underdog. The Aldmeri Dominion wants the civil war to go on as long as possible to make everyone but them weaker, and the Imperials are not really allied with them. The Stormcloaks are also only good to you if you are a Nord, and they really take a massive shit on everyone else. I play a Wood Elf, and they have major issues with the High Elves as well as the Nords. The Imperials are the only side that makes sense to me.
Besides all that, the Civil War quest line actually kind of sucks. Oh well.
