Have to say the Imperials seem to be making the best arguments on here.
- Have already paid them good money for houses
- Keeps the Thalmor out of Skyrim
- Stormcloaks saying they would have liked to join the Imperials

As for the High Elves, I will need some way to raise my bounty in the jarldoms for the wanted trophy...

All of this and my character is an Imperial, and I didn't really want to be a turncoat, makes me think the legion may be the best choice although I will be selling myself out to the 1%.

There's a dirt cheap way of doing this. Get the Storm Call shout, use it in any major city, instant 1000 bounty

I love that shout. I already had it before I went up to see the Greybeards. When they wanted to teach me the sprint shout outside (which I also already had) I figured, here I'll show you something cool. Then all of them got repeatedly struck down by lightning. They completely ignored it ofcourse like it was the most normal thing in the world, just cowered for 2 seconds when they ran out of health.

I never bothered with the wanted trophy. The game kept locking out fast travel even though I was far away from the guards that were pursuing me, with the only choice to head back and reset the bounty. (They weren't pursuing me at all, just waiting for me to come back) Even killing every killable person in town was not enough.

Potion of invisibility for 60 seconds + 100 sneak = Even with 1000 bounty, guards will ignore you after they give up searching for you. 

At least that was how I got mine. You could ride your horse between Jarldoms, but that would take an extremely long time >_>.
