I would definatly go with the vampires. They give you the ability to turn into a vampire lord as soon as you join up with them, and while in this form you are almost invincible (the vampire lord's main attack is a powerful drain life spell, which means that each time you cast the spell, you gain a large ammount of life back) plus, you just look f***ing awesome as a vampire lord.
