Who is it better to go with at the beginning 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.

Is it better to 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.

Does it matter who you choose at the start of Skyrim?

You don't have to decide this right at the beginning of the game. Who you go with at Helgen just affects some dialogue later in Riverwood. But choosing one or the other doesn't lock you in as being an Imperial or Stormcloak.

Is it better to join Stormcloaks or Imperials?

Moreover, the armor and weapons of the Imperial Legion are of higher quality and look arguably better than the Stormcloaks' cheap-looking gambesons.

It's a walking talking Hadvar. Due to the quests he's in I couldn't edit the original Hadvar easily so decided to instead clone him. Which means you can marry him straight away, no waiting for the questline to finish! (and you can marry him when you're stormcloak!)

No, it is impossible to become Jarl in Skyrim, unless you have a mod where you become Jarl of some town like Helgen which, to my knowledge, doesn't exist yet. Besides, becoming Jarl would become boring since Jarls arent allowed to go beyond their city's walls unless heavily guarded.
