They both suck, so for me this is southern Connecticut vs southern Oregon, the two halfway decent areas of each region. I'm leaning towards southern Oregon, Medford's milder winters give it the edge over Bridgeport for me, although I wouldn't be a fan of its cool summer nights.

I greatly prefer New England. I love to visit the PNW, and I generally like the vibe there, but there are just way to many overcast and rainy days.
New England can be sunnier - and a lot drier - all year long.
I love four seasons, and New England's winters are made brighter by snow cover. Autumn in New England is simply gorgeous! Leaf peepers visit NE for that sole purpose. I just love the way the burnished gold and orange leaves of Autumn, contrast with the lovely blue skies that frequently appear in the Fall.
And then there is Summer! I love a warm, sunny Summer! I love the feeling of sun on my body. Best source of vitamin D out there! And, a light tan looks good on every one.
New England has too much potential for heavy snow which rules it out. Not to mention this recent trend of the PNW having above average temperatures, and New England having below average temperatures as well as horrible winters.
PNW easily. Nice summers and mild winters. NE has frigid winters and humid summers.
Humid summers are nearly non-existent in the North Country (Adirondacks, NEK, northern NH, northern ME). Try 40s and low 50s for lows most of the time in July. That doesn't even classify as "humid" for 80-90% of the US for the warmer months of the year.
More summer rainfall, more lightning, higher dewpoints.
