It depends on who youre serving. Ams is nice for western eu traffic. Fra is certainly well connected to the continent also. Additionally fra has much better connectivity to the periphery of europe, including mid east and north africa. Additionally dub already covers the uk, where ams would cut 10ms from your fra times.
So if youve already got dub and you want to cover more of the map fra makes a lot of sense.

Frankfurt is a fine second choice and even an excellent first choice. But of all the excellent choices available, why does dubious Dublin have the honor of first choice in AWS EU locations? It just does not make any sense. Not only it is bad for Amazon, it's very detrimential to AWS users. Given a choice between Dublin and any other major IX location in Europe, I doubt anybody would have chosen Dublin. AWS users just put up with it since they had no choice.
