I’ve only played a couple of Anniversary games with National Objectives, so not enough to give you an informed opinion. Forum consensus seems to be that NOs favour the Axis. I have a couple of generic thoughts on NOs and bids, though, maybe these answer your question in part.

Regarding National Objectives: The more games I play, the less I like NOs. The first reason is that they are forcing you to make moves that are strategically suboptimal. Most NOs are an incentive to conquer regions that were important in the real-world WW2, but these targets are sometimes not at all important in the A&A-universe. For example, most people playing Japan/USA will not be interested in diverting resources to Pacific Islands such as Midway and Wake Island, but there are multiple NOs that stimulate you to go after these 0 IPCs island that hold little strategic significance. It seems the NOs are mostly used to simulate history, but that’s not an interesting aspect to me. Other players are really into the historical aspect, however, so it’s a question of taste maybe.
The second reason is most NOs are valued at +5 IPCs, which is a huge amount in my opinion. In most cases, you cannot afford to ignore NOs. As an extreme example: France is mentioned in 4 NOs that are worth 5 IPCs each. Together with its 6 IPC value, that represents a swing of 12+20=32. In essence, once you enable NOs, France is not worth 6 but 16 (!). In this way, NOs force your hand, and you are discouraged to pursue other, non-historical paths.

Regarding bids: the question what a fair bid would be, has no good answer, I think. The first reason is that any bid is fair, since both players agreed to it. (I do understand, however, that it’s interesting to think about how large a bid should probably be).
The second reason is that the slightest mistake or bad dice roll can completely negate the bid. For example: If you look at the game of Go/Baduk, people have studies for years what compensation should be awarded to the player that moves 2nd (Go is won by gaining more points than your opponent, so unlike Chess, the score can be ‘corrected’). Although research is converging on a certain number for fair compensation, it’s mostly academic: the slightest mistake by a player – even at professional levels – completely overwhelms the compensation. And that’s a game without luck! So for A&A – a game with luck, played by amateurs – bids should be taken with a grain of salt.
