Since you'll want the pool in the sun most of the time I'd go south or maybe southeast. So at least you'll keep the low sun angle west sun off the covered area of the lanai.

My pool is on the side/front (east, south and north views) of my house and my covered lanai is north facing. Best of both worlds to me. Just don't like those westerly suns and heat. I see many, many lanais with shades on them that face west. Must be something to that.
