I will go with El Niño any day! Sydney has been brutalised by La Niña conditions within the past month. The sun has barely been out much!  |

Definitely El Nino—for all seasons, but especially in winter and spring where it causes fun and swingy weather (and lots of storm activity as a result).

El Niño. Generally colder and wetter winters here

El Nino historically causes more economic hardship for Australian agriculture, ie droughts and bushfires and has a detrimental effect on the economy. Farmers complain somewhat about the wet years of a La Nina system , but in reality the man on the land doesn't complain too much as a wet season is way preferable to drought years.

El Nino.
La Nina brings stupid goddamn below average stormless crummers with a never ending parade of gay ass lows and southerlies. Genuine summers in SE Aust are historically provided by El Nino.
El Nino all the way.

El Nino eaaasily. The last two years alone are proof of El Nino's superiority.

I dislike both for their negative effects worldwide, but for my area I prefer El Niño as it brings heavy rain which benefits the parched desert.

La Niña. Far superior winters for the PNW.

El Niño is superior to La Niña, as it is strongly correlated with less active Atlantic hurricane seasons and thus drier, hotter summers on average, whereas La Niña years, like this past summer, bring more tropical cyclone tracks here which vastly increases precipitation. Also, El Niño brings decent rains to California and the SW in general, so it's good for drought relief.

Neither, because it's a conspiracy theory; and taken by itself, it doesn't really have any effect on the weather long term. 🖕

No idea- El Nino is nice in the short term (sunshine, warmth), but causes droughts and wildfires in the long term. On the other hand, La Nina is horrendous in the short term (floods, cloud) but is more preferable for agriculture.
