Denmark-your starting postion is very nice, i normally take out rebels asap then take out Scottland and England. You get good bang for the buck with your troops although you may not have a "super unit" You have effective tools for any situation. Its easier to have 1 enemy at a time which normally is my only undoing in a game. I have tried Scottland and try to wipe out England and Denmark asap but i think Denmark is in a better postion to do this.

Milan-I like their roster of troops the best. Although i normally end up with multiple people at war with me so i don't think they are as easy for me as Denmark.
