Does it matter who you 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.

Who is best to go with at the start of Skyrim?

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.
