Recommendation:

Sakurajima Island generally offers the best overall conditions for Crude Oil bases due to its normal climate, multiple deposit locations, and additional resources. For lower-level players, the Dessicated Desert might be easier initially, but Sakurajima is ideal long-term. The specific location on Sakurajima depends on your priorities (food, defense, etc.).
