For the reasons you listed, the west is also my favourite view overall, though I do think the CBD, in particular, looks better from the east as the monumental nature of the bank towers are unobscured by condos.
Anyway, this is as good a time as any to re-post my future skyline rendering of that great photo by Jack Landau. All of these projects are under construction except for Massey Tower, which will start soon. Also I didn't include Harbour Plaza Residences because they'll be mostly behind Ice and Ten York from this angle. Finally, Aura should be just a smidgen taller:
