I prefer Gray-Manes, but I am ALWAYS Legion at heart.

Stormcloaks may win freedom for Skyrim for perhaps a few months before the Aldmeri Dominion eviscerates them all. Winning against the Empire will not win you all their allies. The Legion has been there for us since Morrowind, and a ragtag group of xenophobics won't change my mind about them.

Stormcloak cities are ruled by extremist zealots; Skald the Elder threatens to execute two civilians honoring their past service with the Legion, and Laila Law-Giver jails her own son long term simply because he said "Hey, maybe the Empire's not all that bad."

Galmor says: "I know many of you are ex-legion, and you know people on the other side, but do not hesitate to kill them, they will do the same." Even though Hadvar says: "Wait, let's see if we can reason with them."

Although ultimately, it's up to the Player's ideology and choice.
