Really is great kiting at either place.
Denham obviously way cheaper transit costs being about half the distance.
BUT
Exmouth has national parks camp sites down the whole length of the western side of the promontory - ie Ningaloo reef frontage for about 100ks. The park campsites are in the dunes right on the beach at most spots & you can stay there for just a couple of $'s a night. Pretty feral compared to modern van parks but they have toilets at most stops & fresh water at a bore towards the north end. It is everything you could ever want of a kitetrek & the snorkelling has to be as good as it gets anywhere in the world - fkn amazing - turtles & reef sharks(thats the cuddly type shark) everywhere + dolphins + manta rays + ??? well + everything tropical right at your doorstep.
Exmouth is unreal.
I'll email you a few websites when I have time. If you can afford to travel about 4000 kms return trip then my vote is definitely Exmouth.

But you will not be disappointed with Shark Bay - guarantee that too.
Gnarloo = about 1/2 way in between - expert level waveriders only.
