The best scenario for the Thalmor would be for the Civil War to drag on for many years so it can further weaken both sides. The worst scenarios would be for either side to quickly route the opposing army reducing damages and casualties. I personally think it would be worse for the Thalmor if the Stormcloaks won because it would end all Aldmeri influence in Skyrim. (at least I tried to burn down the Embassy after Ulfric won xD)
