I would say the Atlantic ocean because of this picture, it makes sense because the Pacific is a big circle with the equator going right through the centre maikng it a lot hotter than the skinny Atlantic.

It depends where you are as both oceans extend from the north to the south so both are cold in some places and warm in others.
