So, our lanai faces NE and we love it, shady all late morning and all afternoon. So is the rear of the house which is our living area and primary bedroom. The front of the house gets the south and west sun, fortunately it's the garage and a covered front porch.
I vote for the NE lanai , I wouldn't consider anything else unless you're a sun person. But it is hot, baby.

We have fewer years but the same opinion of the NE-facing lanai.
If someone intends to be here only for only the cooler months then a lanai that catches the sun might be nice. In the warmer months we greatly prefer the shade in the NE lanai.
