I'd probably say Hawaii by a slight margin over Florida because I really like Coconut Palms and they look better in Hawaii than Florida. As someone else stated Florida's look more stressed, shorter and browner fronds. But Florida does have a wider variety from what I recall.
California has lots of tall Washingtonia and Canary Island Date Palms. Florida and Hawaii has a larger variety of palms due to the climate being conductive to more tropical foliage. Hawaii is slightly better than Florida because it is truely tropical..
California does well with palms that don't need a lot of water. That's why you don't see Royal Palms or Coco Palms in CA often.

There is only one Coconut palm in Orange County growing next to a building on PCH in Newport Beach (google it to see), but it's very stunted. Apparently their roots don't like lots of cold rain, which Southern CA gets every winter.

But again Royal Palms are very rare in Ca. It gets to cool in California for palms that bear fruit to thrive. Thats why I rank Ca dead last in this discussion.

But it depends which Palms you prefer. I love the Phoenix Canariensis that grow so abundantly in CA. Those are my Favorite types besides the Washintonia's.

South Florida is tropical too, derrr. The entire state of FL however isn't.
