We haven't really seen the White Walkers do anything except make zombies (why's that such a bad thing?) and kill a few people who were actually trying to kill them. R'hllor, on the other hand, seems to actively encourage human sacrifice.

I read a rather interesting theory where Azor Ahai was not a warrior, but a diplomat. The Wall was supposed to be the demarcation between their territory and mankind's, and the Night King married an other to make a marriage pact. Now wildlings have been violating the pact, so the others have been responding in kind. The end of the series will be another pact between men and others.
There's really nothing in the books that shows the others to be evil. As you say though, R'hllor and the old gods both require human sacrifice. It doesn't seem to be a difficult argument to make that R'hllor (or whatever is behind/pretending to be R'hllor) is the big bad guy.
