Port aux Francais. It'll be snowier by far: the coldest months in Rinconada are very dry and the highs would melt a dusting quickly. Also Port aux Francais, despite its oceanic location has the drier summers of the two. It wins this one.
La Rinconada doesn't have climate records. The data showed in Wikipedia comes from a webpage that automatically creates the averages via extrapolation of actual stations and adjustment of altitude. Nevertheless, from past estimations I had made together with other people, the annual temperature average is about right, but both the annual range and the daily range are a bit overestimated; the warmest season should be spring too. Rainfall is a mystery, but looks very possible in that chart. Seasonality is alright.
14,000 feet isn't that bad so I imagine 16,000 feet isn't much worse. I vote for La Rinconada due to less clouds and sunnier conditions, although the record highs at Port-aux-Français are tempting.
