Ok, here's a good battle with some less discussed climates.
On track one we have hyperoceanic Copenhagen. You will be blasted with rain, drizzle and endless stratocrapulus. The rain isn't pouring down, but you can expect 20 days with precipitation every month. Spring takes endlessly to get going, and when it's done, you will be having miserable overcast drizzle and lukewarm crummers. Winters are filled with low-lying stratus adding to the short 7-hour days and you get hardly any snow. Christmas eve is like every day in winter: 4.5C high, 3C low. There is absolutely nothing rewarding about this climate except that it is relatively harmless.
On track two there's hot/cold Deafffffffffffffff Valley. Spring to Autumn is scorching hot with no relief whatsoever, and you have to revert to a nocturnal lifestyle if you want to spend prolonged time outside. But Death Valley gets at least nice winters when you can have your BBQ? No way, José! Winters are cold with lows below freezing, and days are mild at best. The only rewarding months are Feb, Mar and Nov when the temps are livable. Forget thunderstorms or prolonged spring bloom, most of the year is completely bone dry.
Finally on track three we have subarctic polar arctic Tartu. Winters are not as cold as they can be in Siberia/Nunavut, but they drag on forever. Spring and most of Autumn are practically winter with no potential for warmth whatsoever, with the first 10C day being in very late April and the latest in very early October. But will you at least get nice summers like Tartu can have? No way, André! You will endure the same overcast rainy lukewarm crummers as Copenhagen, with even worse temperatures. The "warm" season gets most of the year's precipitation, so forget going to the beach by Lake Peipus. The only reward is the handsome Noel atmosphere in December and that one 25C day in July.
Jajajajajaja bros and sis. Pick your poison.
I'll go with Copenhagen.
