Is it better to join Stormcloak or Imperial?

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 faction should I choose in Skyrim?

The Thieves Guild is Skyrim's best faction so far when it comes to effort, immersion and content. You may have to do despicable things, like framing poor Brand-Shei, but it's worth being a lowlife when the questline rewards you with Nightingale Armor and Chillrend, the amazing leveled glass sword.
