Who should I choose to go with at the start of Skyrim?

Yes, it doesn't matter who you left Helgen with at the start, you can still join either the Stormcloaks or Imperials later on. My personal preference is the Imperials, the quests are more interesting. But it's completely up to you which way you go. It's better to escape with Hadvar than with Ralof, though.

Does it matter if you go with Hadvar or Ralof?

Following Ralof plays out much like following Hadvar except that his contact in Riverwood is Gerdur. Following him or Hadvar enables players to take advantage of a few glitches to level up skills. Conversely to Hadvar, following Ralof will give the Dragonborn a foot in the door with the Stormcloaks.

Who is better to side with at the beginning of Skyrim?

Pick Imperial if you want to play a character who is originally from a place aside from Skyrim, as it doesn't make sense to fight under a banner that ultimately won't accept you. Pick Stormcloak if you believe the Empire has no right to say what Skyrim denizens can and can't do, especially if you are a Nord.

What happens if I join the Imperials?

I recently did a Skyrim playthrough as an Imperial, and joined the Empire. The only thing that changes is the outcome of the civil war between the Empire and the Stormcloaks - namely, that Ulfric is ultimately killed by either you (the Dragonborn), or by General Tullius/Legate Rikke - the choice is yours.

What happens if you choose Ralof but join the Imperials?

Ralof is instanced in a few missions ONLY if you join the Stormcloaks. By the same token, Hadvar is instanced in a few missions ONLY if you join the Imperials. So saving either without joining their side gives you warm fuzzies (I guess), but you never see them again. Not much.

Who are the real good guys in Skyrim?

To call either side good guys or bad guys is rather unfair. It depends on what you consider to be good really. But objectively speaking, the only faction with purely good intentions is the college of winterhold. Mainly because they don't oppress anyone or want to rule over anyone.
