Tucson. Boise is growing too fast at this stage without accounting for the amenities/infrastructure improvements to match. Meanwhile, Tucson is probably the most affordable midsized or larger city along with Albuquerque in the West. The summers/intense sun is probably the biggest drawback, but at least you're just a couple hours from Phoenix for big-city amenities (important in these days of high gas prices), unlike Boise, which is a good half-day drive from Portland/Seattle/Salt Lake City.

Bowen, KY or Arrow Rock, MO
Arrow Rock, no contest.
It's not only a more substantial settlement and in better shape than Bowen, it's also a state historical park.
Two cities named for descendants of the same legendary figure, one of them not far from Arrow Rock:

Boone, Iowa, or Boonville, Mo.?
Boone... I like its proximity to Ames (20-25 minutes) and Des Moines (45-50 minutes) for access to jobs/amenities. That feature gives it a leg up on any of Boonville's best attributes.
Starting with some current NCAA men's basketball tournament 1st round match-ups:
Boonville, MO. I prefer its location along the Missouri River and being surrounded by rolling wooded hills as opposed to Boone which is surrounded by flat cornfields. Also, having slightly milder winters is a plus.
Oops, missed this one

As much as I love Burlington, for year-round living I'd pick Fayetteville as Vermont winters are too cold and snowy for me.

Lima, Ohio or Peru, Indiana?
Both sound incredibly depressing, but I’ll take Lima, OH since it’s almost 3xs bigger and in my home state
I think I'd prefer Visalia as I'd have a hard time adjusting to such an arid place as Yuma.
Chickasaw, Alabama or Chickasha, Oklahoma?
Alabama. It’s right next to Mobile which I guess probably means easy trips to the beach. Might as well be near the beach if you have to live in the south. Also, trips to New Orleans

Alpine, TX vs Millinocket, MN
Assuming this is Millinocket, Maine, I prefer Alpine because its elevation means milder weather. Also, it has Sul Ross State University, so there are more jobs too.
Tyler. I've never been there, but heard it's a nice small city.
Hazlehurst, Georgia or Hazlehurst, Mississippi?
