I was neutral for a long time (even to the point where I did the quest to negotiate a temporary truce in the main quest), but I eventually went with the Imperials. While the Stormcloaks had good reason to make a stand, I found that the Imperials made a better case (especially in terms of accepting other cultures other than the Nords).
