El Paso has some things going for it (a mountain), but the desert is not for me, and I also happen to be fond of Memphis, so this is a pretty easy choice.

Memphis 1,000%...I don't even think these two cities are on the same level in the slightest bit.

I'll take El Paso. The economy is improving out there. Las Cruces is just up the road if I what to go skiing, and I'm fond of the desert climate.
