The only thing that may alter anything is the air density difference, if any.
They are simply opposites of each other. Direction moving up, direction moving down. Same light, possibly different mental perception.

Atmospheric and weather conditions, and the color of light are good to know, but primarily you should be thinking about how you want to capture the subject. You say, "Assume the target subject can be photographed in either," but that is too simplistic a statement - unless maybe you're shooting people and then you can turn them 
You could have side light, reflected light, direct light or back light. Each presents its own benefits or challenges, depending on what you are trying to capture and how you want it to look.
Also, your distance from the equator is important because of the angle of sun. Up here at the 47th parallel, the golden hour is virtually non-existent in summer, while it goes for much more than an hour in winter.

Yep, the angle the sun takes. Shorter for a more vertical descent, longer the more angled the descent.
Mountains and flatland make a little difference also. "Sunset" in Florida is usually "pouf".

What subjects would look better in each, or does it make a difference? Assume the target subject can be photographed in either. I would be interested in your preference. Thanks. I'm thinking that each has its own special quality.
I think it's a good question. My thoughts are, go out and shoot the scene in the morning and then shoot the same scene at sunset (yea I know the sun is on the other side) and see which one you like the best. After all, it's what you like that counts. And I would venture to say that if you shot a morning scene and sunset, you could post process them to where you really couldn't tell when it was shot. So go forth and shoot to your hearts desire and have fun.

Instead of asking this question you should be out forming your own Opinion... Talking about photography does little to hone your skills. Pick up the camera and get busy..........
This is a topic where honing your skills with experiments without first getting at least some education may be nearly worthless. An informal discussion such as exists here on UHH is perhaps sufficient for most photographers. But really serious photography my require a degree in meteorology to know how to predict or interpret actual confitions.
Reading threads like this one before going out to experiment is essential.

Females in morning cooler light, more feminine, afternoon light warmer, better for males. In my experience.

What would cause it to be a different color temperature, other than the ascension position?

Atmospheric conditions are beyond my comprehension, cooler light in the morning and warmer light in the afternoon is all I need to know.
