Let's keep this simple - If you're thinking about practicality, neither side's radiant quests are important at all - you don't need the Greybeards to find words of power, and you don't need the Blades to find dragons (the dragon lairs re-spawn every 10 days). Here is the difference - if you side with the Greybeards, you get to meditate on words of power with Parthurnaxx at your leisure, whereas there is nothing new to be gained from joining the Blades (you can nab the armor and whatnot at any time). Personally, the only word of power I care to meditate on is "Fus" for the excellent stagger bonus it gives, and you can do that before killing Parturnaxx anyway. Bottom line is, unless you want to keep Parturnaxx around to change your current meditation, it doesn't really matter at all.
