Violet looks way better from the outside, in my opinion. It's got both purple and blue elements, and just pops. Ice is blue, but rather plain looking. Looking out from the inside, Ice has a normal grey tint. Violet on the other hand looks different colors. If you look through the center, there is a bronze tint, but if you look out of the top half or extremities of the lens, it's more bluish. Actually, this can be quite distracting...but they look so good from the outside, that I always go for Violet.
Ice is available in almost every frame available. Violet is a bit harder to come by, but is still readily available. Just go browse the Oakley catalog and see what appeals to you.

Both Ice and Violet will be effective for strong sunlight so either will suffice for that purpose, however the appeal to look at visually for me is Violet, one of my top 5 favourite lenses and apart from the 1st & 2nd gen Frogskins and the few ladies pairs I have almost all of them with the better examples being Eyepatch 2 - Polished Black, Juliet I.H., Fuel Cell - Polished Clear, all 3rd gen Frogskins especially Purple Clear Fade, both PSJ, and Primitive, BMX Chrome Radar & Jawbone, Julian Wilson Holbrook, and the Riddle - Polished Black is just insumangen!! (had to invent a new word to describe this pair!). Seldom will you see another manufacturer produce something comparable to the vibrant colour of Violet with it's rich deep mirror effect and often the model and frame will compliment the lens well. I wonder if Oakley will ever make a polarized version?
Ice has been produced much more widely and looks remarkable on certain pairs, for example the Montoya Splice, Scar - Electric Blue, Oil Rig II - Matte Clear, Batwolf - Polished Clear, Jury - Distressed Silver, and X Metals like XX, Penny, Juliet, and X Squared. Ice would be deemed more subtle with wider customer appeal, would suit more people and is less likely to attract the onlookers attention.
