Why anything but the Imperium? Man is always destined to win, regardless of whatever other side-races are introduced. They are the only ones who would even have the capacity to rule a galaxy.
The Forces of Chaos will just end up raping and destroying everything until there's nothing left, so they get bored, and either kill each other or, better yet AND more likely, turn against their gods for shits and giggles.
The Orks would do much the same, but probably be fine with it. However, they have no physical gods to turn against, so I suppose they'll just leave this galaxy for another.
The Eldar are pretentious, pompous, sanctimonious little space-elves who already had their chance at galactic domination and screwed up royally. They should all curl up and die or join the Imperium... oh, wait. No Xenos, forgot. They should just curl up and die.
The Necrons will release their eldritch Lovecraft gods over-and-over again, like the cheating, game-breaking bastards they are, until they kill everything and tehy just go to sleep. Not a very good form of galactic rule.
The Tau are just upstarts with cool technology and none of the endless power of the Imperium. Honestly, if the Imperium didn't already have Chaos, Orks, Tyranids and everything else breathing down it's neck, do you think the Tau would have kasted as long as they had? Plus, they're Communists. They can't rule a galaxy.
The Tyranids will just eat everything and spit it back up before leaving.
Thus leaving only man. Man will win, as he always does.

I collected, modelled and painted Chaos and Tyranids for about 5 years when I was younger, so those two are my first and formost alliegences. If I were to side with a "good guy" *cough cough no one is good in 40k, not entirely* then it'd have to be the Iron Hand chapter of the Space Marines. Always had a thing for dreadnaughts...
Back in the day I collected and painted Death Guard Chaos primarily and by jeebus they were a ***** to paint correctly, let alone well.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHH!
(Orks that is, anyone who's a fan of greenskins will know why I like them and that's all that matters.)

I liked the orks when I played 40k many, many moons ago. They had a sense of humour.
Nowadays I have to go with my own species even if they are a bunch of retards. However, being an old 1st ed player I tend to ignore a lot of the newer developments of the 40k universe so my 40k is probably a bit different to the canonical version.

I've played Dawn of War 1 and 2 to death and I love the Space Marines in them, for backstory the Imperium are awesome(but I havent read to much else besides theirs), and as for the tabletop wargame I have no idea, I just started getting into that so I'm looking around for a bit first.
1: The Imperial guard for their sheer determination, awesome uniforms and tanks.
2: The Orks. They're such a simple race. They just want to kill, they're happy when they murder things, mindless slaughter fills their minds with utter glee. How can you not love such madness?

Got to be the Eldar really. The first model i got was a jetbike. Aside from loving their armour style and the thought of striking scorpions getting up in your grill I just love their back story. Meh I'm a sucker for Tragedy.
Just wish they'd up their game and claim their rightful place as Kings of the UNIVERSE!

For the All Father! that is Space Wolves... but maybe not in a MMO as when you just start, the headstrong rule of the blood claws would make you charge screaming into the closest guy who looked at you funny...
But still, running around on a thunderwolf or zapping people with sentient lightning, pretty cool...
