GOD I LOVE THIS QUESTION. Closing line, for SURE. I feel like the opening image is more important than the opening line, if that makes sense? You have a few sentences, maybe even a few paragraphs, to get your image across. But if you nail that closing line, you can ride that high for years.
the real answer, i know, is both. both is good. but authors: would you rather nail the opening line of a story, or the closing line?
