To me both relationships suck, but if I had to choose, Naruto/Sakura was a better one, because there was more development; Sakura came from despising Naruto to greatly respecting him. Yes she did abuse him, but all Naruto females abuse, except from Hinata, and it's a form of humor for this manga. On the other hand, Naruhina's development was what-from shyly stalking Naruto to slapping him to get his shit together and then hold hands? :/ Not my cup of tea, sorry.

Also, Naruto replied positive when Minato asked him if Sakura was his girlfriend. After this, if I supported Naruhina, I wouldn't want it to happen anymore because Naruto was a jerk :P

On a not-so-unrelated note, I just realized that Kishimoto made canon the ships that his female characters wanted (Naruhina, Sasusaku, SaiIno) rather than the ones his male characters wanted (Narusaku, Sasuloneliness, Saidicks?).
