In Denver (home of Echostar), you do get the occasional satellite signal loss (like during a REALLY heavy snowstorm, the signal will get lost for 10 seconds or so), but my friends with cable often tell me about how their provider (Comcast, here) will inadvertently disconnect them due to a hardware upgrade, etc. for hours at a time.
No problems noted with wind (could that just be a bad install job with the coax running from the dish to the house?), or 99% of the weather around here.
So, I'd say go with satellite. You may get an occasional outage, but not for long.
