When all the faction plans for all the elven factions are set in stone you'll be able to judge for yourself of course but if you want a basic idea on the differences...
Lothlorien is pretty much based on the vanilla elven faction in terms of balance, also the faction plan is there to read as well.
Mirkwood will be a relatively weak faction early game with little offensive capability using rangers to defend their base until their mid game which unlocks their heavier troops. Their hero roster is also pretty limited.
Rivendell is quite different, using Dunedain and other troops from Eriador as their starting units until your able to afford the heavier more durable troops from Imladris. Rivendell might have more heroes than the others since it's covering more ground, but the heroes roles are more specific i.e. Halbarad would only give leadership to Dunedain.

Regarding factions, we'll be posting an FAQ soon, it will contain the list of factions we wish to cover in AOTR.

Rohan's plan isn't really set in stone yet so we decided not to go through with them just yet.
As for the campaign we are indeed waiting until the Erebor faction is done, because after that we should have the sufficient art and base code to proceed with starting a Hobbit based campaign.
