My vote went for Aztec maps. First of all, I think it's an underrated theme, and like any uncommon things on AC (Nieb textures were very impressives when they were used on maps, but since it's official and often used, it's not impressive anymore).
The theme cannot hurt the gameplay (mine theme is forcing the mapper to adapt his work) and offer many possibilities since Aztec civilisations are almost unknow, it's free to the mapper.
I prefer night (early morning, very end of the afternoon) because AC lights are kinda poor and it's the only way to make them beautifull, textures are more beautifull with a light themed map IMO. I think there is no real gap between day and night maps on the gameplay because all maps have inside rooms and it's to the mapper to make it bright or dark (dark places on ac_desert3).
