Honestly they are all the same. Bethesda specifically made both factions with strengths and weaknesses that mean whoever the player chooses they won't be disadvantaged compared to another player's choice. The Empire want unity but are broken inside and the Stormcloaks are motivated but this blinds their outlook at the bigger picture.
