Well, putting aside the fact that Ulfric is a power hungry racist, I'd say the two sides of the conflict are pretty equal on their morals.

Stormcloaks are fighting because they believe they are being oppressed, and they want to freely worship Talos, however many of them are blindly following and not looking at the big picture.

Imperials are fighting to keep Skyrim within the mutual protection of the Empire, and because they know the White-Gold Concordant isn't meant to last, and that the peace treaty is just the eye of the storm, but there are a lot of them who are influenced by the money, and don't truly care for Skyrim at all.

It's a toss up. When you take all things into account, the Imperials are right, but morally they're both equal.
