I agree. Granted I've only played Skyrim (and haven't finished Dragonborn yet) but i would have to go with Miraak. To me it seems like Alduin, Miraak, and MD (Mehrunes Dagon) all seemed to have the same basic plan. MD wanted to destroy/take over Tamriel and the only thing that he seems to have done (other then sending enemies in via portals) was he killed the septim line (so he could send in enemies via portals). Alduin wanted to ressurrect dragons, use dragons to kill (or enslave) all mankind, before ruling and/or destroying Tamriel. Miraak wanted (and at first succeeded) to bend dragons and people to his will so he could use them to conquer Tamriel. Dagoth Ur had the most complex plan of any of them (and from reading on the wiki seemed to be the most subtle in the opening part of his plan). However Miraak seemed to be doing almost the same thing. He wanted to turn the people to his side and use their help to conquer Tamriel. Dagoth wanted to gather followers and add more and more bases before taking over Tamriel. Given that they all had pretty much the same end goal (and pretty much the same way of achieving it by either using existing servants (MD) resurecting dead servents (Alduin) or by recruiting/brainwashign followers (Miraak and Dagoth)) I had to go with Miraak just because i think he looks the best.

End of book.
