I usually play either Iroquois for a mixed peace/war type game or Mongols for a war game. What other Civs to others think are good for these approaches? I rarely play a purely peaceful game but what Civs would be good for that?

Too many variables. For example what do you mean by a war game. Do you mean you fight when attacked. Does it mean once a war starts you never make peace.
What is a peace game, no wars, no starting war, make peace as soon as it is offered?
At what point in the game do you want these wars?
I would not expect the Mongols to be a common pick for war games. I could see Rome for early wars, France for any time/era. China for Middle Age is not bad.
I like France for nealry any type as they are Commercial, get a jump on the Writing path. Great UU as it is not too early. Their traits allow you to build many wonders and not trigger a GA. You can avoid a GA from the UU with no problem.
If the map is pan or continents these are fine, if it is an island map you may want to change. I think there is an article on all the nation in the Strat article forum. Not studied it, so not sure how good it is, but someone at least gave some thought to them.

I also like France quite a bit for any maps that don't have too many islands. Their commercial and industrial trait is too good to pass up in builder games. Warmonger games I feel like the ottomans are a great choice. Industrial/scientific is great along with a well timed UU and golden age.
Island maps I like England a lot, Republic gets them a gigantic cash boost on these maps.

Twice, when doing an all-random game, I happened to get the Dutch on an archipelago. I easily dominated both games - Lots of fun, those Dutch!

For long games (diplo/space) I play Sumeria and Dutch a lot and Iroquois on big maps, because these tribes are agri and do not give you an early GA for an early Pyramids. If I play on a level were getting Pyramids early is unlikely I play Maya.
For early and long warmongering I like Romans and Celts
