We got a home with a north facing lanai....and you can see the sunrise out of the east side and the sunset out of the west side. I do not get the hot sun beating on the lanai and require no shades. But in the end it is what you like and enjoy. We are also lucky in that we do not having kissing lanais or anyone behind us. If you are aware of having kissing lanais you can most of the times get your house reversed on the lot...you can not do this if you have a drain in front of your house.
