El Nino tends to be better. Take 1997 for example:

Despite the fact that El Nino means fewer storms here there is no end to the general frequency of the storms in the world which usually leads to about 80 something storms. So while we don't get it we can rest assured knowing some other country is getting screwed over.
But hey, we need a break here...

I believe "El Nino" was a reference to the Christ child as it was around Christmas that they named/discovered it--something like that. I don't believe there ever was a La Nina per se until the PC mentality that demanded male and female hurricanes also transcended to this event. I think before they called it the La Nina, it was called an "anti-El Nino" event... perhaps someone with more meteorology background can clear that up for me; but I truly never heard of "La Nina" until the last decade or so.

That's the impression I originally had; but I make no claim to expertise on how these phenomena affect our hurricane seasons.
