Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I'm not a fan of the heat so AC is the way. On the other hand, cold is nice.

Yeah efficiency in design and power consumption is the way. A combination of a house fan (built in) and central air if mixed can be a good way to not always have the central air on. At night or when it cools, turn the fan on. During the day, turn central air on.
Or just program central air to turn on an hour before you come from work.
No need to have it on all day if the house or unit is empty.
