It depends on how big of a house you want. If you want more indoor space that is clean, dry, and mostly bug free you want a glass enclosed lanai. It will give you two living rooms, and one will be much brighter than the other, so the interior room can be used for the TV.
If you want covered outdoor space you want a screened lanai. It gives you a space for the morning breezes and to watch the storms come thru, and saves on air conditioned space.
My house is more than big enough, with a TV room and living room already, so the lanai is our outdoor space.
