Seeking advice for Iguazu Falls visit

Hi all,

I'm planning an upcoming visit to Iguazu Falls as part of a larger South American trip. I've booked the following flights: arrive at IGR on the Argentinian side around midday, and leave from IGU on the Brazilian side the following evening.

I'm seeking advice on which side of the Falls to stay for my one night, and what order to see both sides. My current thought is to stay on the Brazilian side, so that I won't have to deal with any unforeseen border crossing delays on the way to the airport for departure. I'd visit the Argentinian side on day one after arrival, storing my bags in the lockers at the park entrance, before crossing the border that evening. That said, it seems like the lodging options and the town on the Argentinian side are somewhat nicer, but is it worth the potential extra hassle on my departure day?

Any insights or experiences would be appreciated!
