Though I don't think I've ever had a more entertaining time with ICE than playing GM. You get loads of fleet commanders and the CC Victories are great. Your defensive position isn't that bad either, but isn't as good as Zsinj and requires rapid expansion to be able to control the major choke-points and then cordon off the rest of your holdings.
I'd say NR in the Demo is hardest since you have to contend with losing 4 planets or so when Zsinj inevitably gets too ballsy and tries to attack one of your border planets with an Ion cannon on the surface. That and Mon Calamari and a bunch of your heroes are cut off from your main power base on the other side of GM's holdings.
