Both of these are blue-collar towns that have fallen on hard times. But when I visited Fall River a few years ago to see the battleship Massachusetts, I thought the town looked quite a bit nicer than I expected. Plus, you're close to Boston and Providence for big-city amenities. So I'll pick that one.
Portland, Maine or Portland, Oregon?
Portland, ME. I prefer the culture, scenery, and Portland, ME is on my list of places to explore.
I would pick Indianapolis because it's close to where I live now, I have quite a few relatives within a 1-2 hour drive of Indy, and I'm not a fan of Dallas. The job market would probably be better in Dallas, but for now, both my husband and I work remotely. I don't like the politics of either city, so that's a wash.

Okay, how about another Vail...
Vail, AZ or Chandler, AZ?
Vail looks a little isolated, even if it isn't too far of a drive from Tucson. I'd go with Chandler, as it looks like there is more to do there. And I like how it's close to both Mesa, and Tempe.
Evansville. Never been to either but my friend worked on a project in Evansville and raved about the city. Location is a bit better for me too. Your question reminds me of two suburbs that I'm familiar with...

Evanston, IL or Decatur, GA
Evanston... Lots of perks to living in both suburbs but I like how it's more urban and right on the lake. The university in town adds a level of vibrancy too.

Ann Arbor, MI or Berkeley, CA?
Evanston native here. I'd pick Ann Arbor over Berkeley because Ann Arbor is slightly less loony tunes and cleaner.

Ann Arbor, MI or Berkeley, CA?
Ann Arbor mainly because it's not in California, though the Michigan Wolverines has become a pretty good football team this season.
I think I'd pick Sellersburg as it has an authentic small town feel with the added perk of being close to Louisville.
Miami Beach, Florida or Fernandina Beach, Florida?
Fernardina Beach. I'd rather live more further north in Florida, than south. I'm sure the Miami area would be okay to visit, but I worry I wouldn't fit in as well since I don't know Spanish as well. Not to forget there's a historically lower risk(looking at historic hurricane maps, showing where past hurricanes have had their landfall along the coast) of hurricanes hitting land in that inward bend area near Jacksonville, than it is near south Florida. Of course NOT saying there's no risk of hurricanes hitting near Jax and Fernandina Beach, just a little less of a risk of a hurricane hitting there.
Very small college towns:
Sewanee, TN, or Williamstown, MA?
