Give me about 100 years and dozens of space settlements in each and I could make a good guess. Last I noticed, L4 and L5 were
the preferred sites. But we won't know until we try both out. (I assume you mean L4 and L5 of the Earth-Moon system.)

As far as I'm concerned, we won't know until we've tried both. I got my engineering degree in 1968. I still think that cut and try is
better than computer modeling. Computer modeling can save time in the early stages, but should never be used for a final answer.

A model is rarely more than close to the real thing.
