it really has no effect on game outcome, other than who 'controls' Skyrim. at the end of the Civil War quest, you can acquire eithers Ulfric's clothes or Tullius' armor. 9 times out of 10, I side with the Empire. Why? Because, in Sovgarde, Ulfric admits that he made a grave error in starting the war against the Empire. Best option is to side with whomever you escaped Helgen with. Hadvar is Imperial and Ralof is in the Stormcloaks.
