For me it is between,

Balgruff due to him knowing the strategic importance of Whiterun, to me he comes across as shrewd. Don't care about his kids really, is parenting skills are not in question.

Igmund cannot have and easy position what with the facist Thalmor prancing around, he also appears honorable and straight forward.

Brunwulf has to be considered for his reformation of Windhelm.

I feel Eslif although a sincere person is naive and mostly a puppet for what ever faction does rule eventually.

This being said I do repect Ulfic and I understand and have played through the Stormcloak options. For me the Thalmor are the biggest douche bags yet I am usure of whether Skyrim would fair well as a totally independant nation. I feel under Ulfric it could become too insular. I could be wrong though. If the Redguards can show them who knows...

A Jarl should be tough but fair. Nice is a plus but a ruler should be strong in conviction and honour. Barmaids should be nice.
