If we go balrog someone needs to write an omakes of sauron and saurumans reactions when they find out

Followed by an omake of use having tea with the leader of a human faction and them being stunned by how surreal the situation is.

Chances are it would be some parody or crackish drivel rather than realistic.
Sauron is rather hard to write convincingly. Saruman's reaction on the other hand I would be willing to try to write up.
Personally I think the one most likely to become reacquainted with fear is the Witch King
"No Man can slay me" is little comfort when a Maia takes to the field on the opposing side.

Not really. The corsairs are still men, no more difficult to reform than any others. Trying to make a civilization out of not just orcs but Misty Mountain goblins on the other hand...

Or we could just kill him when he shows up.
That would not be very repentant of us. I say if he won't see sense we should encourage him to leave.

I do not think the Valar agree. The idea is not simply to replace one Dark Lord with another. We have to try to be generally good and encourage our subjects likewise.

Actually the Balrog would be a vast improvement to Sauron for the Powers of the West
Balrog are geared entirely on personal combat and force of arms. With the exception of their Capitain Gothmog they are never shown in command but rather as an ultra-elite unit.
Balrogs are also mortals in a fashion. Unlike Sauron that was not so attached to his fleshy vestment I doubt an evil Balrog could create a new body for itself.
Also between the Elven Ringbearers, the Istari and some remaining Noldor like Glorfindel, there are a couple of people that can kill a Balrog still living.

Except there is that One Ring floating around. With that a Balrog could grow in power enough to match or surpass Sauron at his zenith even as Sauron a his strongest surpassed Morogoth at the end.
Also as an Ainu (and not one bound to human form like the Istari) a Balrog is inherently capable of replacing its form. Having it unable to do so would be like having a Man unable to cross beyond the circles of the world.

Plus, it'd certainly as fuck tie down the Lorien Elves for an extended period of time.

Well to be fair the Balrog turning against him is a pretty big spanner in the works and is something that you'd need to either divert a ton of resources or one of your heavy hitters to deal with.
That is before adding our army to the mix, then things just start getting crazy.

Assuming the Balrog wins, we have three immediately useful tools. The armies of Goblins around Khazadhum, the dwarves arms and forges, and the Watcher.
We could also go to Mt Gundabad, much better and more competent troops (for Orcs) there.

Gonna be really interesting to see all the wrenches we can throw into the events of The Hobbit for the bad guys, let alone the War of the Ring
We are after the events of the Hobbit.
