Ulfric is more busy than Elisif because he actually bothers leading his country, rather than Elisif who leaves it all to advisors, like a lazy leader. Ulfric is nice to you when you back out of the conversation.

How is Ulfric a jerk? The Stormcloaks don't think they're better than everybody else, they just want freedom. They don't want to be governed by the Thalmor like the rest of the Empire.

How on EARTH is Tullius (I assume you meant Tullius when you said the Imperial leader is nicer?) nicer than Ulfric? Tullius tries to execute you at the start of the game, did that slip your mind? Ulfric may seem quite frosty, but that's because you have to earn his trust in a time like this.

The Stormcloaks use different weapons to the Empire? The Legion only uses Swords and bows, the Stormcloaks use swords, bows, battleaxes, shields, waraxes, maces, greatswords and warhammers.

This is the tip of the iceberg of what I want to say, I could go into a lot more detail.
