I didn't vote as I don't really understand what is being asked? I thought it was to do with seasons, if you like winter happening in Dec/Jan/Feb or Jun/Jul/Aug for example, but most seem to be voting on which hemisphere has the best climates

The question is easy to understand, what type of seasonal climate do people prefer, the very diverse seasons in the Northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere cities at the same latitude that have less seasonal diversity. The reason for less diversity could be a number of things, higher temperatures, much stronger sun making in feel warmer than similar temperatures in the Northern hemisphere etc.

Not really, the original post didn't make it easy to understand what you were actually asking at all...
1 - Northern Hemisphere seasons tend to be more pronounced.
2 - In the Northern Hemisphere December 25 is in winter, and in the Southern Hemisphere it's in summer. DECEMBER 25 SHOULD BE COLD. THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT.
This map puts paid to the notion that the sun in New Zealand is stronger than the sun in Australia. It does, however, lend credence to the supposition that the southern hemisphere sun is stronger than that of the north. The effect seems especially prominent at high altitudes and at latitudes exceeding 45°.

1. Full year is relevant.
2. From the article: "Compared with equatorial regions, our (NZ's) UV is not particularly strong – contrary to anecdotal evidence from travellers".
3. Also from the article, this other map which clearly shows peak UVI in Australia stronger than NZ:
