Server 1 tends to be better for me. At 40 players the lag is enough on both servers that I don't really notice a difference. I don't really care either way. I'll miss the 60-90 vs the 90-120 average ping, but that never stopped me from playing on 4.
In the end this is SS13; it's going to lag regardless thanks to Byond. We switched from 4 to 1 because the lag with 4 was unbearable for reasons (??). Now we're switching from 1 to 4 for the same reason? Please, just pick a server. We've had a lull in active players every time a switch has happened.
I guess the most logical choice, barring individual server/host issues, would be to look at the player population and choose the server most suited to the bulk of them. Switching based on timezones would be alright, but it might alienate new and old players alike. Voting is nice for an active server, but votes for extended would be very rare; even on low pop. Forcing extended on lowpop is logical, but I think the bulk of those players would just hop onto another station instead.
Apologies for the disorderly post; I'm tired and a little high from medication.
