This might be a little controversial seeing as I always play as a Lindon elf (love the color scheme and elvishness too much) but I would argue that the dwarves are a strong candidate for being the best good faction. Their gear is even more durable than elvish gear, their tools are some of the best in the game, and dwarvish axe throwers are by far one of the most destructive ranged units in game. Not in distance of actually hitting their targets mind you, but seeing as they continue to pummel anything that gets too close to them quite mercilessly, do not change weapons halfway through a battle (which has caused the death of many an elf), and since axes are not affected by eolean they do much more damage than anyone with a bow. Sure, they might be harder to reach (blue mountain dwarves say WHAT?) than some elven factions just by geography and have enemies spawning in some of their biomes, the whole aspect of living underground removes the problem of invasions entirely. Ok, there are times that invasions spawn underground, but these are the exception and rare at best. The number of times I have had to cull an invasion of gundabad in my base has been fairly frustrating even in Lindon. Lorien doesn't have this problem really except at the forest edge but who lives all the way out there?
