If you live in Louisiana and don't have a pre-nup, there is a 99.9 percent change MFJ will be better.
If you do have a pre-nup (i.e. the pre-nup calls for seperate property and one of you makes a lot more than the other) or you don't live in a community property state (LA and Texas are community property states) sometimes it can make sense to file MFS.
It seems to work best in a non-community-property state when one spouse makes the vast majority of the money, and the other spouse makes much less money AND has huge unreimbursed medical bills.
