The first time through, I didn't even see a choice (all the dragon-fire etc.) and went with Hadvar as he'd been keeping me alive up to that point. The second time through, I took in the dialogue a bit more. Bethesda did a nice job presenting pre-Enlightenment justice systems and how military justice during a war can get. So, while I am not cool with  the racial nationalism of the Stormcloaks (Skyrim, Skyrim, Uber alles!); I think Stormcloaks would look you in the eye while stabbing you...not hauling you off for torture and kangaroo courts while wringing your hands about the ehtics like Hadvar does...besides, you can always veer off course to get to the guard room and loot the gear there; so it all washes out the same.
