Go with the hilltop.  The oceanfront is great if you have unobstructed low
angle in a few favored directions.  But oceanfront with low angles cut off
is not a good compromise.

 

Spend A LOT of time with HFTA after carefully detailing the terrain within
1000ft of the antennas.  My best antennas are all 25 - 30 ft to Europe off
the side of my hill to Europe.
