I am currently playing the Orlesian WC in Awakening since my HoF went US. So, my question is, for importing a save game into DA2, which one works better? The final save from DAO or the final save from DAA?

Probably DAA, partly because you get to see Nathaniel if you've recruited him (and lives, naturally).

I'd go with DAA. The default for DA2 without DAA is Nathaniel dead, Amarantine saved and...can't remember about the Architect but it's not important anyway. With Amarantine, if you let it burn there are some ppl rioting on the streets of Kirkwall. It's not important tbh. The only really relevant thing, as Beregond said, is if you'd like Nathaniel around or not. And if you're making your sibling a Warden they'll turn up for Nathaniel's quest so it's a bit more time with them too. EDIT - Wait wait wait, I'm just realising what you're asking here. If you have the Orlesian warden then your choices from DAO won't be in the DAA save right? In that case, the important bits from DAO that are in DA2 are if Zev is alive, if you romanced him, if Alistair is a Warden/King/Drunk and if you romanced him, if Bhelen is on the throne (extra quest in DA2), if you drank Avernus's potion, and if werewolves still exist in Ferelden. That's about it as far as I can remember. Also, if your Warden was Dalish or an Amell, definitely go with the Origins save for he references to them.

You should play that US Warden in Awakening. DA2 will recognize it as two different wardens later... DAA's import process is screwed, but in the longrun, this is the best way to handle it. Even the devs recommended this.
If you just import an Orlesian you won't get much of any acknowledgement about the original Warden.
While if only import the HoF main game, you'll miss some options. Like it'll default without Nate's quest in DA2 and you'll miss out on Varric's upgrade there.

Thanks all for the responses. I am leaning toward importing the DAO save since it has options I haven't taken before, just in case one of them matters. I will miss Nate though, since I like him, but at least there is another quest to make up for it.
straykat: If I had known that, I might have, but I'm already done and don't want to play it again right away. I did like playing as the Orlesian Warden though; there were a lot of little dialogue adjustments to differentiate it from an import, which was nice.

Just remember for future reference maybe. And yeah, the Orlesian is kind of underrated. Pretty interesting in it's own right.

Do two different playthroughs to see the difference

Well, I'm already not very motivated for one PT so I think doing two is not likely. At least not in the short term.
