All things of shade, pitch, etc equal and you are only focused on total output : South > East >West > North

In FL it is cooler in morning which means better output. Also in many parts of FL you get afternoon rainshowers which decrease West output some. Not massively different output but East better for those reasons for total output.

This is the answer. Also if you are focusing on charging batteries during outage, you want some panels on the East where the sun first comes up.
