If the hours of sunlight are about equal, my GUESS is that the east side would be better. Beyond less wind, the early sun helps dry plants earlier in the day, possibly keeping disease away. Some years, here, the dew on the leaves is so heavy in the morning, you would have thought it had just rained. I'm thinking plant a bit later than you would on the west side, because the soil may not warm as much on the east side.
