Hard to compare because New Orleans is more of a semi-major city, and Charleston and Savannah are much smaller in look/feel.
I would compare New Orleans to major cities in the U.S.. Charleston and Savannah are more comparable to regional cities.
Let's not concentrate on size so much and think about which one you would be most interested in visiting or living. They're both historic southern cities founded within 60 years of each other and lots to offer.
Never been to N.O. so I would choose to visit there over others. I doubt Id want to live there though, or any of them for that matter, I guess I would choose Charleston maybe...I like the Gullah people.
I think I'd pick to live in New Orleans. Not only is it the largest city of the bunch, but it has arguably the most unique local culture of any city in the U.S.
However, I find Charleston to be one of the most charming cities I've visited. Very neat place. When someone says, "Southern Charm" I immediately think of Charleston.
