All cities bashed for their looks and amenities and economies. But which one would you rather call home if you had to pick? What do you like about them compared to others, museums, downtown, shopping, scenery, price, weather??
I'd take Tampa if I had too. I like the fact that it's right on the gulf, Tampa had some of the best sunsets I've ever seen. Plus you have other cool places nearby like Clearwater and St Pete. It's not as touristy as Orlando, and it's not a sprawling desert like Phoenix
Phoenix does have its merits though, like the fact that it's becoming a little fashion hub for the southwest. And It has a beautiful metro area- But I'm just not a fan of the set up and location of the overall city.

Tampa. Tampa is on the coast, and the serenity you get from that alone to me puts it into a newer perspective. Also Tampa isn't too far from Orlando, you basically get a coastal city and another city not too far away from there.
Not a fan of the humid heat, so I'll go with Phoenix, my hometown, even though I have plenty of gripes against it. Plus the West culture is much easier to take than either the South or whatever the hell you would call Florida.
I've never been to Phoenix, but I would take Tampa over Mickey Mouse, FL easily.
Mickey mouse FL doesn't equal Orlando FL
