Rewards from Mutually Exclusive Factions in Morrowind?

Question

In The Elder Scrolls III:Morrowind, several of the player joinable factions are mutually exclusive, most notably, the three Great Houses of Telvaani, Redoran, and Hlaalu. While I'm familiar with the general bent of each (Telvaani are mages, Redoran warriors, Hlaalu thieves), and I know the general recommendation is "When in Doubt, Choose Telvaani," because the rewards are generally considered superior, and Telvaani is the basis for some excellent mod content as well.

What I'm curious about though is if there's a single listing somewhere comparing the rewards of the three paths against each other, to allow for a choice based on the rewards, rather than the skills involved. The Wiki sadly doesn't consolidate this info, though it has a listing of all the quests for each faction, the rewards are not broken out, so finding them requires a lot of digging. Is there a better resource?

Answer

What you ask for is difficult to pin down because there is a lot of variation based on player choice. For example here's a quick and dirty chart I came up with just for House Hlaalu. Note: the values listed are the maximum values (assuming the wiki is accurate) you can earn for completing that quest. Many quests award multiple items. The values listed are the sum of all the monetary value of the items you'd receive.
