They're close enough in flight time that it wouldn't matter in my experience.
Both have nearby alternate airports in a pinch, although in LA you'd have to Uber or take a bus.
LAX has more airlines and less weather issues. I'd go with LAX unless I had good reason otherwise. Number of company flights would be a factor, but you need to exclude the RJs.
