I'm somewhat biased, having only played Hlaalu and Telvanni, and only having raided Bal Isra twice, but I would still vote for Rethan Manor on Odai Plateau for the following reasons:

 

-Proximity to civilization: Bal Isra and Tel Uvirith and both in godforsaken, extremely remote locations with few services but for the prepackaged stronghold services. Rethan Manor is near Balmora and has four merchants

-Location- I love the Bitter Coast-Ascadian area, and Rethan Manor has the best of both. Easy access to Hla Oad and the quests/locations, etc. there.

-Architechure- I generally like the Hlaalu architechure, and the 5-edifice combination is quite nice. I just wish (as I do for all strongholds) that there were a bit more in the way of furniture that isn's already occupied by useless junk.

-Weather- Both Bal Isra and Tel Uvirith, as I mentioned before, are in horrible locations weather-wise. The worst Rethan Manor gets is rain. Ash storms don't particurlarly appeal to me.

I like Telvanni the best, but to make things even better just go fetch the tel urivith exspanded mod ^_^ ^_^ makes things much better! besides my strong hold is where i keep my mark, so i can recall there without making the long trip everytime.

Hmm tough call. Hlaalu by far has the best location relative to the most prominent cities in Vvardenfell but I do really like the interiors of the Redoran strongholds as they never cease to amaze me (the textures are really amazing).

 

Telvanni is nice but I'm not nuts for them; plus their whole faction is ultra conservative, which I don't like.

 

However the stronghold I like the most is the one I made myself using the editor. It's right on a peninsula near Pelagaid and built using Tribunal architecture. As for house factions though I vote Redoran since they're the least scummy of the three Great Houses.

I seem to have replied to a thread like this at least four times since I joined the forums.

 

The stronghold I like least, because of its location not its content, is Telvanni. The quickest way to get there IIRC is to use the Propylon chamber at the nearest Dumner stronghold (Indoranyon I think) but even that takes ages. As to the house I play, well I've done them all; Hlaalu - immoral, Telvanni - amoral, Redoran - honour at whatever cost. None is perfect but I generally play Redoran, they have more quests. I also take advantage of the glitch to play Hlaalu as well and end up with two strongholds. Hlaalu is certainly more convenient which is why I want the two.

Anyone who's been on here long enough should know my answer :P .

 

Telvanni, because:

 

The location is realistic! Telvanni wants to e x p a n d. 'Expanding' five feet from Balmora to Odai Platea isn't much of a land gain.

 

Telvanni architecture fits very well into the Molag AMur region. I usually don't like that region, but Uvirith's Grave always seemed to be a nice location with Tel Uvirith growing on it.

 

It has the best mods. With the two great mods that are easy to find online, it is simply the best stronghold.
