I like Brina Merilis, mainly because she is ex Legion and is actually a great Jarl.
I like Tullius, he isn't a Jarl but he has been appointed the Military Governor which makes him acting Head of State until the Moot meets, I understand what he's going through because the Jarls are all largely independent and they're stubborn so they don't listen to him. Tullius is also smart enough to avoid Skyrim politics, those in the Blue Palace complain a little that he is too busy with the war instead of focusing on other things. There is Legate Rikke who takes over for Tullius in politics since he doesn't understand the Nord ways. But Tullius' frustration with Jarls is at least made known. I find it funny because I think people can relate to him on that one.
Tullius: "You people and your damn Jarls."
Rikke: "Sir? You can't force a Nord to accept help he hasn't asked for."
But Rikke ends up doing more political things, "The General's put me in charge of assisting the new governments. I may understand things here in Skyrim better than the General, but I'm a soldier at heart, not a politician. But I'll do my best. This is the land of my birth, the land that shaped me. I'm proud to have any part in making it strong again."
Other than that I don't really care for Jarls, politics are never perfect and you're never going to agree with each Jarl.
