Which terminal is nicer Gatwick?

We fly long haul and tend to fly out between 9.30-11am, but we do find the North to be more open, spacious and airy unlike the South. In fact, we also struggled to find a seat while waiting for our flight to board. I was in the North a few months back, airside there are loads of restaurants.
