I think Sean and Andy are both right. IRL we tend to favor divisions that are thick but also produce different winners year to year. I think if you take out yearly ebbs and flows of talent, the AL East and NL Central have been relatively similar with the edge going to the AL East since fewer teams have rebuilt during FCMs history.
However, The AL East has failed to produce enough of a variety at the top of the division to get my vote (also a heavy bias is there obviously). The NL Central has had 4 of the teams in our division finish 1st and 3 of the teams finish 1st multiple times. I may be mistaken but IIRC the AL has only had NY as a repeat champion/ws representative. It's close and basically splitting hairs, but I'll take the NL Central for it's consistency and variety.
