So, whichever side your Dragonborn picked in the Civil War, is how things go down.

Is it better to join Stormcloaks or Imperials?

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.
