If you take interplanetary travel into consideration, then anything on
the equator
has cheapest access to earth orbit. You also want an east coast where
you can
use the ocean as a saftey buffer. Brazil, Singapore.

But the difference isn't really all that much.

You can also launch to the west.

Only if you add two extra stages to the launch rocket, plus lots of extra
shielding to counteract the small particles of disintegrated satellites
moving in orbit the opposite direction. All that stuff reduces payload to
the vanishing point.

Right - and what bad SF novel did you get that information from?
