I think that over-all a spring hunt is the best.  During the spring hunt you get (depending on location)6-8 hours more of daylight per day in order to hunt, this greatly improves your odds of getting a bear - at least seeing more bears.  Also, during the spring the weather is generaly getting a little better each day, whereas the opposite is true of the fall.  A nice unrubbed spring is the best you can find.  The only negative that I can think of regarding the spring hunt is that you have a chance of shooting a rubbed bear if you're not paying attention, especially late in the spring.
