Birmingham gets the nod. It's closer to more interesting geography - small mountains and forests. OKC has the better food, and possibly culture, but it's too isolated. From Birmingham, I could always visit Atlanta on the weekend.
Columbia, SC or Columbus, OH?
Columbus... Much larger with more offerings and culturally more in line with what I'm looking for compared to the Deep South.
Boston. Bozeman is too small. The one above was skipped. In that I'd pick Lawrence KS. Farmington NM or Grand Junction CO?
I know nothing about Farmington except that it's pretty isolated from anything else. True, so is Grand Junction, but that city sits on an interstate and has an airport with a fairly respectable level of airline service. I think it might also have more of a four-season climate as well, though I'm not sure. In any case, I'll pick Grand Junction.

Grand Rapids, MI or Fort Wayne, IN?
Fort Wayne is slightly cheaper and richer. And Indiana is one of the most Libertarian states, so I prefer Fort Wayne.
Conway has more jobs, due to the college, and it's not too far away from Little Rock. Festus is near St. Louis, but it doesn't have the college.
Blacksburg, Virginia or Ithaca, New York?
Blacksburg, all day, every day. It's more scenic (IMO), but of much greater importance, it's much more conservative. Blacksburg's major university (Virginia Tech) is much more down to earth than Ithaca's (Cornell). And the climate is more moderate in Blacksburg as well. As a side note, both of these cities are served by the same interstate highway (I-81).

Wilmington, DE or Wilmington, NC?
Wilmington, Delaware has been called "Murder Town USA", so that's not a good sign. The one in North Carolina looks alright, so I prefer it.

Rapid City, South Dakota or Billings, Montana?
Billings... it has more mountain country nearby... and Yellowstone isn't too far away.
Grants Pass, Oregon or Lewiston, Idaho?
