Is there an argument to be made for favoring plain vanilla flat land in all
directions, instead of a hill or mountaintop, so that the TOA's can be
optimized for all bands by antenna height/stacking for all important
directions?
Best regards,

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.
