Who for? What are you wanting from the holiday? I've been to both areas and they feel very different.
Via lattea - italian feel, good mountain huts at reasonable cost, cruisy runs which are mostly quiet even at half term or easter (although weekends are busier with the Turin invasion). If staying on the Italian side, much of the area reasonably well linked, but to get to Claviere and french Montgenevre, its a long slow series of lifts,down as well as up. Sauze is a moderately lively resort to stay in, all other resorts range from sleepy to silent. Saying that, there is ice skating, skidoo, etc on offer.
Portes du Soleil - french in feel, busier pistes, some good mountain huts but slightly pricer than VL, cruisy runs although a bit more tough stuff on offer compared with VL. Morzine is a good place to stay to access much of the runs, but the Les Gets area is a bit out on a limb, and to 'do' the full circuit does require some walking between lifts across a village or buses. More in the way of apres available, especially in morzine. Les gets is more family orientated. Can't comment on what the other french/swiss resorts are like.
Neither resort is going to have good guaranteed snow as easter is so late this year...so I'd say half term would be best.
