Not the op, but my .02$ in any way. I've always found it easier to do nanowrimo in november, myself. When other people are also doing it, they're usually much easier to talk to about it, and more likely to be supportive, I would think. Even in november, I get a lot of irl friends who tell me that they can't grok why I would push myself for something like that - not even a few of them would understand if I were doing it outside of november.
Really, it's a matter of whether or not having the support and the "official" attitude helps you more than the schedule hurts you, I think. If you don't care about that support, or doing it in the special designated month doesn't make it feel more special and worthwhile to you, then any other 30-day month is exactly the same.
Personally, I think november is one of the worst months possible for it for a lot of people. It bites for retail employees, it bites for students... if you're neither, then it's an okay month, I guess, but I can't imagine it would be a better month than any other to balance out all the awful it is for the people with work or school that picks up in november.
