You got me, I love all of (and anything from) Morrowind. Even Cliff Racers! 
Before proceeding, I'd like to endorse the comparison between Dunmeri culture and Japanese culture, stating that this similarity is definitely one of the biggest reasons that I have the Dunmers as my favourite race. I absolutely love Japan, its history (especially up until the end of the Meiji restoration) and its culture.
Anyway, my favourite House is a tie between the Redoran, the Telvanni and House Indoril. So let's see what I like in each one of them:
House Redoran: The defenders of Morrowind. That alone is enough reason for me to hold them in high esteem, for they are the protectors of the Dunmer's home. It's also always good to remember everyone that the Redoran army alone stopped the Argonian's incursions into Dunmeri territory. and that the House was essential in the rebuilding and supporting of Morrowind and its people. Last but not least: Honor.
"A Redoran must show piety to the Aedra and Daedra, our creators and ancestors. For without the divine, we would not have the chance to serve. And without divine law, we would not know right from wrong. And without giving thanks for these things, we would forget our place and our purpose."
House Telvanni: They're unique, interesting and their architecture and techniques are astounding, as are its members. They have some of the best mages in Tamriel, and yet they are isolationists. I partially agree when people say that they want power, but I'm not sure about why they want it and tend to consider that this desire for knowledge and power is not with the intention of enforcing it on everyone else; it is instead something to feed their ego and curiosity.
House Indoril: This line alone sumarizes it: "By contrast, many Indoril nobles chose to commit suicide rather than submit to the Empire, with the result that the House was significantly weakened during the period of transition..."
And in the same book, "On Morrowind", the reason why I dislike the Hlaalu:
"Initially, though the Imperial legions and navy were widely considered undefeatable, House Indoril and the Temple hierarchy proposed to resist to the death. Redoran and Dres stood by Indoril, with Telvanni remaining neutral. Hlaalu proposed accommodation."
"House Hlaalu, whose influence and power was waxing with its enthusiastic accommodation with the Empire"
Jerks...
