Is it better to help the Stormcloaks or Imperials in 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.

Are the Stormcloaks evil?

Ulfric Stormcloak is not evil, he just doesn't see the bigger picture. He sees his cause as saving Skyrim, but all it is is handing it to the Aldmeri Dominion on a silver platter.

What faction should I join 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.

Can I stay neutral in Skyrim?

Yes, it is possible. The main quest is not completely independent of the war, but it does not require your character to take any action to support or oppose either side in it.
