Canada side is better for pics since you get to see the American side of the falls as well as horseshoe. Also at night, they light up the American and horseshoe falls from the Canadian side. Also be sure to head down river and check out the gorge.

I got some great pics of the strip joints and peep shows last time I was there :).

Seriously, either side offers some amazing vistas. Take the cable car ride over the whirlpool (just downstream from the falls) if you want some really impressive shots. You can also take the Maid of the Mist boat ride, but the spray is often too heavy for very good photography.

Generally, the best views are all on the Canadian side.
