Who is better 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.

Most enemies scale with your level, so you can pretty much rush through the main quest without doing anything else if you want. Skyrim doesn't really have an end, but I assume you meant the main quest. But I'd say any level above level 20 is about right.
