A looong way apart climatcally and culturally.... Which one do you prefer ?   VAN HORN:   Climate in Van Horn, Texas: Van Horn, TX is a desert climate located near the Mexico border in Texas. The area typically experiences hot summers and mild winters with low humidity levels throughout the year. Rainfall is light and sporadic with most of the precipitation occurring during summer monsoon season from June to September. Although temperatures can reach above 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer months, nights are cool due to the dry desert conditions and very little cloud cover. Snowfall in Van Horn is rare but may occur once every few years when cold fronts move through the area.  HORN ISLAND:    Climate on Horn Island, Queensland Horn Island has a very warm tropical savanna climate (Af) with consistently hot temperatures all year round. The wet season lasts from December to April and features high humidity and frequent heavy downpours. Horn Island is occasionally affected by tropical cyclones; however it is too close to the Equator for them to be a significant threat. The dry season runs from May to November, and features lower humidity and little rainfall. Horn Island has never recorded a minimum temperature below 15 °C (59 °F) or a maximum temperature below 25 °C (77 °F)  |

Tx cause it has seasons, atleast by American standards. Horn island also has 4 distinct seasons...  KUKI: The coming of Kuki season is indicated by the build-up of Begai (big storm clouds) together with lightning in the far north-west. When Kuki arrives, the wind blows from the north-west and brings heavy rain and squalls with hot and humid weather. Masigalgal know the weather is turning rough when the Waumerr (Frigate birds) fly low in the sky. The cooling rains of Kuki replenish the wells and water tanks. Crops in the garden grow quickly. During this season, logs of Tuku (Nipa or Mangrove palm) and Bissi (Sago palm) wash down from the Fly River in PNG and are collected by Masigalgal for carving of Makarr (model canoes) and Warup (drums) or for building purposes. The Gainau (Pied Imperial Pigeon) and Weiba (Rose-Crowned Fruit Dove) become fat and plentiful during this season due to the abundance of ripe fruit on the island. The eggs of Sara (Bridled Tern) and Sileu (Little Tern) are collected during this time. ZEI: Zei is the season between Naigai and Kuki. It is a short season, when the wind comes from the south-west and blows in the afternoon. Zei will blow stronger closer to the full moon and the new moon. The Zei wind is described by Masigalgal as a ‘jealous wind’ that ‘fights’ (or alternates) with Naigai and Kuki. The Zei wind is a sign of Buthu waru (nesting turtle season), which is indicated on Masig and surrounding islands by the Piru (flower stalks and dried leaves) of the Urab (Coconut) falling in abundance. The tasty fruit of the Kurad (Beach Cherry) are red and ready to eat in this season. Mosquitoes are also in abundance. WOERR/SAGERR: The Woerr season is named for the Woerr wind (also called Sagerr) which blows from the south-east and is the predominant wind throughout most of the year in the Torres Strait. Woerr is considered by Masigalgal to be a forceful wind with a strong personality- it can blow from April to September. When the Biru Biru (Rainbow Bee Eater) fly from south to north towards PNG, it is a sign that Woerr will soon arrive. The start of Woerr on Masig is indicated by the presence of the Zugubal constellation which appear clear in the night sky early in the morning and by the heavy flowering of Pulla (Beach Convovulous) along the shoreline. Small Woerr rain at the start of the season provides water for the Manietha (Cassava) and Kumala (Sweet potato) and keeps them growing in the drier months to follow. They will be harvested later in Woerr season. The presence of Waumerr (Frigate birds) flying high in the sky and the Gapu Nathar clouds indicate fine weather during this windy season. NAIGAI: Naigai is the season of hot dry weather and calm winds. The constant wind of Woerr eases during this time and the seas become calm. During Naigai, the sky remains red for a long time at sunset (Kulkanathan), indicating that the weather will be Muthuru (fine). For Masigalgal, Naigai is the time for traditional house maintenance, preparation for the coming wet season and trading with PNG coastal villages. Gardens are prepared for the coming rain by clearing grasses and bushes, burning these in piles and using the ashes to improve soil fertility. Fallen ripe fruits of Ubar (Wongai) are collected from the ground in the Sau (Ubar orchards) and dried in the sun. The start of Sulawal (turtle mating season) during Naigai is indicated by the ripening of the Kubil Gim fruit (Sea Ebony) and the flocks of Biru Biru (Rainbow Bee Eater) flying south to the mainland. |

Van Horn is actually quite well-rounded in temperatures (though more continental and much drier than ideal), so it earns a C and my vote.
Meanwhile, Horn Island is too warm year round, and likely too muggy also. However, the good amount of summer t-storms and lack of uncomfortable cold (obviously) earns a D.
