I personally do not recommend Proctorville. You are just across the river but you have to drive for pretty much EVERYTHING you need and would be spending a lot in gas because of this. My recommendation would be to stick with the Huntington-Barboursville-Milton areas. If you like being able to walk or bike most places with a short drive everywhere else then I suggest Huntington. If you want more land or the subdivision feel then Barboursville or Milton might better suit you.
I grew up in Barboursville but now live in Huntington with my wife and 3 boys so I'm familiar with both if you have any specific questions. Hope this helps!
