Which king would you swear your allegiance to?

Game of Thrones season 2 is in full swing. With Robert Baratheon dead and rumors swirling around King Joffrey's heir to the throne, a handful of lords are preparing their armies to claim the iron throne. Which king would you swear your allegiance to?
Balon Greyjoy is the Lord Reaper of Pyke, father of Theon Greyjoy, the head of House Greyjoy (one of the Great Houses of Westeros) and the ruler of the Iron Islands. He is a hard, ambitious and ruthless man. Nine years before the start of the series he rose in rebellion against the Iron Throne and was defeated in a bloody war. His elder two sons were killed and his third son, Theon, was taken by Lord Eddard Stark as a hostage for Balon's good behavior and obedience.

Okay she's not a King, but she's the mother of dragons and bathes in fire...so she instantly gets a bid to the iron throne.  Also being a woman, she probably can communicate better then all the other lords :)
 
She is the only surviving child of King Aerys II Targaryen who was ousted from the Iron Throne during Robert's Rebellion. She lives in exile in the East. Daenerys was married to the Dothraki Khal Drogo but lost her husband and unborn son to the manipulations of the vengeful maegi Mirri Maz Duur. Her marriage to Drogo and subsequent interaction with the Dothraki people gives her the confidence to lead and the belief in herself as the rightful queen of Westeros. She plans to retake her homeland. She hatched three dragons by walking into Drogo's funeral pyre with the eggs. Hers are the first dragons seen in the world for hundreds of years.
Joffrey Baratheon is the King on the Iron Throne. His mother Cersei Lannister will act as Queen Regent until he comes into his majority. He is betrothed to Sansa Stark. He is widely believed to be the son of Cersei and the late Robert Baratheon but was actually fathered by Jaime Lannister. He has Eddard Stark executed for challenging his legitimacy. He is a cruel and sadistic ruler so you might want to be on his good side.
Renly is a younger son of House Baratheon who is the Lord of Storm's End and has served on the small council as Master of Laws. Following the death of his oldest brother King Robert Baratheon, Renly claims the Iron Throne for himself, contesting the claims of his nephew Joffrey Baratheon and his older brother Stannis Baratheon.  Unproven in battle, Renly's charisma and ties to House Tyrell affords him one of the largest armies in the land.

Stannis Baratheon is the Lord of Dragonstone and the eldest of the two younger brothers of the late King Robert Baratheon, the other being Renly Baratheon. Because of rumors that Robert's heir Joffrey is a bastard born out of an incestuous affair, he has claimed the Iron Throne and proclaimed himself the rightful King.  He has powerful dark magic on his side.  Whether he can control that power or become manipulated remains to be seen.


Robb Stark is the King in the North, the ruler of the North. Following the death of his father, Lord Eddard Stark, at the order of Joffrey Baratheon, the King on the Iron Throne, Robb became the head of House Stark and the Lord of Winterfell. He was declared King by the forces of House Stark and its bannermen and allies after Eddard's execution. He is leading these forces in a rebellion against Joffrey, designed to break the North away from the control of the Iron Throne.  Robb is a smart, just ruler like his father Ned Stark and has already won multiple battles in his march south
