Which do you prefer?
If you haven't experienced both try and be as unbiased as possible :)

cold
being in australia we get up to 45 degrees Celsius heat in some parts of perth on extreme days but also can go down to 5 degrees. most euro's will say 5 isn't cold but that's a range of 40 degrees and by far it is much better being in cold weather

Cold. I guess it depends as what you class as cold though, I'm happy to wear short-sleeved t-shirts in 5 degrees (celsius).

Diary Of A Snow Shoveler
December 9: We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a more lovely place in the Whole World? Moving here was the best idea I've ever had. Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon the snow plow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life.
December 12: The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry, we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such a nice man. I'm glad he's our neighbor.
December 14: Snow, lovely snow! 8" last night. The temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn't huff and puff so.
December 15: 20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly. We aren't in Alaska, after all.
December 16: Ice storm this morning. Fell on my ass on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like hell. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.
December 17: Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her. God I hate it when she's right. I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.
December 20: Electricity's back on, but had another 14" of the damn stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. Goddamn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they're lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he's lying.
December 22: Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white shit fell today, and it's so cold it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to piss. By the time I got undressed, pissed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter; but he says he's too busy. I think the asshole is lying.
December 23: Only 2" of snow today. And it warmed up to 0. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning. What is she...nuts??? Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did but I think she's damn well lying.
December 24: 6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the son of a bitch who drives that snowplow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls. I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was busy watching for the goddamn snowplow.
December 25: Merry Christmas. 20 more inches of the #$%ing slop tonight. Snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. God I hate the snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel.
December 26: Still snowed in. Why the hell did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She's really getting on my nerves.
December 28: Warmed up to above -50. Still snowed in. THE BITCH is driving me crazy!!!
December 29: 10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?
December 30: Roof caved in. The snow plow driver is suing me for a million dollars for the bump on his head. The wife went home to her mother. 9" predicted.
December 31: Set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.
January 8: I feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

I think the hottest temperature I've ever experienced is probably about +40 C, while the coldest is probably about -40 C. Central Alberta will swing between -40 C and +30 C in a typical year (we'll hit both those extremes a few days each year).
+40 C is obviously much more survivable than -40 C, but I still like the cold better - this is probably only because we have these wonderful things call buildings which can be used to heat human bodies. Generally speaking, they're much better at keeping bodies warm in cold temperature than cool in hot temperature.

I'd probably have to say Hot. I've only ever experienced as low as -33 Celsius (-27.4 F) including windchill here in NL, Canada. It's not fun. Your face freezes if it is exposed to the cold for any length of time. Having to wear a balaclava sucks. The summers here reach about +20-30 Celsius (68-86 F)
I've also experienced +52 Celsius (125.6 F) once when I was at the Hoover Dam in Arizona. It was hot, but not the same kind of heat as 30 degrees Celsius where I live. We have high amounts of humidity in the summer which makes the heat less bearable. Arizona heat in my opinion felt different. I would compare it to placing your hand near a hot burner on your stove (but not touching it).
I could bare the heat with water and AC, therefore I would rather Hot than Cold.

You are right, Arizona's weather is very strange. The word I think you are looking for is dry.

Hot. I hate waiting at a bus station when it's freezing cold and windy. Also, wearing a lot of clothes isn't nice. When it's hot all you need is water and antiperspirants and you're good to go.

Defineitly hot, all the girls are at the beach getting tans with the smallest amount of string on, but I love traveling up north for Christmas it feels more festive.

I love the cold. Everything is better in winter. Reading by the fire, a cup of hot tea, walking hand in hand with a special person, cuddling under the thick blanket. The cold is more easily controlled. I'll grant that we have mild winters in Texas and we never have to bundle up all that much, and if we're going to go to extremes I'd rather be hot in Phoenix than cold in Alaska. As it is here, though, I much prefer the cold.

I hate bugs so the fact that we have freezing temperatures and snow on the ground already in New York is a good thing.

Freezing, stinging hands. The shivers, and chattering of teeth when the only thing you want is to be warm.
Tempting but I'll pass. I'd rather just perspire.
