Overall, I'd choose FL over MI any day of the week.
I work for a school based in Michigan, but we are in South Florida. We rarely have non-flying days whereas they're down for days, potentially weeks at a time for weather.
The summer storms are somewhat predictable once you learn the pattern and they're usually fairly brief to the point that it doesn't significantly impact the days flying, so long as we plan around them. In the summers we try to fly earlier in the day, in the winters we fly later (because of low-lowish fog that likes to stick around).
