Biggest factor is with dry heat you can go in the shade or use a fan and be comfortable, with humid heat especially if you have to wear a suit to work, it ruins your day when you have sweat running down your back from walking from your car to your office. No comparison dry heat!!!! Having said that, I wouldn't want to leave in Phoenix or Florida, however 90 is not bad at all if no humidity and in your in the shade. I prefer all heat in moderation.
PHX dry heat sucks as much as Miami's humid heat. The question to be asked is what constitutes "heat" in this poll. Are we talkin' Santa Fe, NM heat or Phoenix, AZ heat? I can handle Santa Fe's summers, but not PHX's. I choose dry heat over humid heat.

So true, I was in Denver when it hit 90 one day. We sat outside and had lunch and were comfortable. In Miami, I could never sit outside when it was 90 because its to humid to be comfortable.
Under 90 degress, humidity is actually quite pleasant and keeps the skin looking youthful. From 90 to 100, I'd rather be in Tucson. Over 100, it really doesn't make much difference. Either way, even up to 120 degrees, I'd rather deal with the heat than a miserable Minnesota winter.
This is what humid heat gets you. Sorry, guys. I was born and raised in Manhattan. You have never experienced real heat and humidity until you live in South Florida.
Humid heat. I just don't like how dry everything gets when the humidity is low, including my skin and nose. Humidity is much better for your skin too and everything isn't as dried out and about to burst into flames.
I like humidity, maybe it's b/c I'm used to it, I don't know. Dry heat is just hot, it feels like you're in a oven, and it takes more for you to sweat so you're just cooking. Again, maybe it's b/c I;m used to the humidity, but dry heat seems harder to breath, it's kind of scratchy and well, dry.
