Balgruuf is not better than anyone else. He sent some guards to go protect the notes under his reign, Ulfric would do the exact same because guess what? In the endit was a NORD settlement without any dark elves. Even balgruuf bans the khajit from entering so he is still racist! People just like to turn a blind eye to it .
The problem I have with Balgruuf isn't that he sides with the imperials but that he's indecisive and being wishy-washy. He doesn't side with the imperials because he agrees with them, he just doesn't like Ulfric and finds it the easiest way to not cost him anything.
From his opening conversations you can tell he views ulfrics rebellion as having some merit and it might owe the people his support but he has personal rivalry with him and imperial coin is more benefital. He doesn't like tullius and won't even let the legion in without setting up some rules, so its obvious he's doesn't trust them either.
The fact that ulfric even tried to make a pact with him shows that they were on decent enough terms although not buddies, and ulfric was willing to fight together for what he thought was the greater good.
Very well put. I agree completely!
Pretty much this. Balgruuf just shows to not having any opinions or personal sense of justice and just take whatever is easier.
