The only real problem siding with the Imperials is that Maven Black-Briar becomes Jarl of Riften.
She is a criminal, she openly works with the thieves guild and bribes officials to 'look the other way'. As for the Dark Brotherhood, well, ANYONE can call them at any time, so never mind that...what the real problem is that she plans to rule all of Skyrim via manipluation and slipping you fat checks to help her out (like, asking you to kill the Skooma dealers, not to stop the production, but so SHE can deal it; she pays you your 'cut' of the money.)
Weakest argument ever. She holds riften in her clutches even if you side with SC. She's allpowerfull
Well, because of my modded save, which removes 'essential' tags from everyone, I made sure she has no power and will spend eternity in the soul cairn.
What I did was: wipe out the Dark Brotherhood, wipe out the thieves guild, kill everyone who is friends (or knows) Maven and the thieves guild; Kill the Black Briar mercernaries, hired thugs, random thieves and aggresive adventurers, then I turned my attention to her family, killed her sons and daughter before tracking her down as she walked along the lower pier of Riften and slit her throat, striped her naked and dumped her corpse into the canal!
I also used 'soul trap' and a lot of black soul gems for each and every kill (it's off to the soul-cairn for you); I also left a 'calling card' on every one I killed, a diamond and a jug of milk. (don't ask how Maven had a diamond and jug of milk left on her corpse...just don't ask)
Nobody dares insult/threaten me (even if it was a hollow threat) and gets away with it...Bwahahahahaha!
At least Riften is now free of crime, I made damn sure of that! Now they can return to the fishing village that they origionaly started off as.
