How do you end the war peacefully in Skyrim?

The only way peace comes to Skyrim is when one side defeats the other. It really is not making peace, it's actually a temporary truce and the war will resume(and thus, the civil war questline) immediatley after the main quest is over.

Is it better to side with the Imperials or Stormcloaks?

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 is the best ending in Skyrim?

It is my opinion that the best possible current end for Skyrim revolves around three of the questline, naming the dark brotherhood, siding with the imperials, and appeasing the blades.
