Also, Lightnings's nukes also have bad attack rating. So the dmg is not as consistent as Fire nukes' dmg. Fire gives you fire wall, that is very helpful as well.
But it's still 50:50 and it's all down to your preferences.

The reason why many prefer Fire is that it got more nukes while light got 1 or 2 "main" nukes, with fire you can do a non-stop nukes while on light you will have to use a lower level nuke due to the slow regenerating speed of the nukes.
True, Lightning's nukes have that moment of waiting before the CD ends on the previous nuke, but that moment is so damn short that i barely notice it with my nuker when i don't look at the CDs and look at the char. Lightning's nukes don't actually have slow regeneration speed, it's just that Fire has more nukes on different CDs, 3 types of nukes, 2 on Lightning. Fire's Front Range AoE nukes have a long CD.
