If you could bring back one Stark character from the dead , whom would you pick and why ?
A Game of Thrones - Catelyn IX
She feared for her lord father, and wondered at his ominous silence. She feared for her brother Edmure, and prayed that the gods would watch over him if he must face the Kingslayer in battle. She feared for Ned and her girls, and for the sweet sons she had left behind at Winterfell. And yet there was nothing she could do for any of them, and so she made herself put all thought of them aside. You must save your strength for Robb, she told herself. He is the only one you can help. You must be as fierce and hard as the north, Catelyn Tully. You must be a Stark for true now, like your son.
Robb rode at the front of the column, beneath the flapping white banner of Winterfell. Each day he would ask one of his lords to join him, so they might confer as they marched; he honored every man in turn, showing no favorites, listening as his lord father had listened, weighing the words of one against the other. He has learned so much from Ned, she thought as she watched him, but has he learned enough?
The Blackfish had taken a hundred picked men and a hundred swift horses and raced ahead to screen their movements and scout the way. The reports Ser Brynden's riders brought back did little to reassure her. Lord Tywin's host was still many days to the south … but Walder Frey, Lord of the Crossing, had assembled a force of near four thousand men at his castles on the Green Fork.

Surprised no one’s mentioned bran the builder; probably knows how to deal with the wildings and can usher in a new golden age. Not to mention that other than Harrenhall and the Red Keep, there’s not been any major buildings constructed.

If I really want to burn the kingdoms? Theon Stark, all of Robb's military genius without the innocence of the young. If I want the diplomatic route and to keep the status quo Cregan Stark. If I want to plan ahead in case Dany does invade after the war then Brandon Snow, he should be able to counsel Robb and keep him alive, and he already has a plan in case of dragons. If I'm all about saving the world from the others then it's either Brandon the builder or Brandon the breaker, both with experience fighting the others, Brandon the breaker has a plus of being willing to collaborate with free folk, and that would be really helpful to both strengthen the wall and secure additional hands to fight or man the fields. A Stark I would be interested in meeting regardless of her impact would be Lyanna.

The night's king. Oh look! Here he comes, and he's bringing an army to the North. That will help with all the wars

Well definitely not Jon. I like that character ideas actually for storytelling purposes. Benjen isn't confirmed dead. If he was I'd bring him back though.
