I did the Imperial plotline because most of the Imperial jarls seemed to care about their people over their own power and glory (with the exceptions of Siddgeir and Maven). Stormcloak jarls - not so much.

One thing that struck me, though: After Ulfric Stormcloak was dead, I checked his body. No Amulet of Talos. If he was truly fighting for the right to worship a god, wouldn't he be wearing that god's holy symbol as a statement of his faith?

Anyways, I think whether or not I take a side would depend on my race, and it would be done before any other plotlines. Nord = Stormcloaks, Imperial = Empire, other races = depends on affiliations. My Redguard refused to choose a side - one side turned their back on Hammerfell during the Great War, and the other would see all non-Nords like her leave Skyrim. If she chose a side, she'd lose even if her side won.
