There's only two times the quests differ, not counting the initiation quest:
1. Is the Battle of Whiterun. For Imperials, you're basically just doing a defend the castle Nazi Zombie style defense. It's just kill as many Stormcloaks as possible and get that percentage down to 0. For Stormcloaks, it's more fun firstly. You fight through waves of Imperials, open the drawbridge, and fight your way to Dragons Reach
2. The Final Battle of Solitude/Windhelm. Barely at all however. It's the same format but the environments are vastly different and I find the Solitude battle less epic than the Windhelm battle. Although I am a Stormcloak person, I just find the Windhelm setting to be more fitting for a final attack.
It all boils down to your political, social, and ethical views about the factions. Both factions have incredibly strong arguments as to why support them so just go with where your heart takes you.
