Probably Reno, since to me that area seems like it'd have slightly more things to do. And I like it's proximity to the town of Truckee, and Lake Tahoe. Don't get me wrong, I do bet Boise wouldn't be bad to live in. At the end of the day, I think I'd prefer a slightly milder winter. Though I remember reading there is more snow in say Reno, vs. Las Vegas.
Spokane, WA, or Billings, MT?
Spokane definitely. Despite its decent city population, Billings is really on a different scale, more of a Bellingham or Eugene-sized place --- while not having the proximity to major cities of either of them. Taking that into account, Billings might be more on the level of Yakima or Medford in terms of desirability for my demographic.
The cost of living is probably lower, so one situation in which I might conceivably choose Billings is if I had a lowish-paying remote software job and couldn't switch jobs for whatever reason.
I think I'd go with Traverse City since I'm intrigued with living full time in the upper peninsula of Michigan but Jonesboro is probably the more pragmatic pick.

Portland ME or Providence RI?
I think I’ll go with Providence on this one though I do like Portland ME. I just prefer Providence’s location and less cold weather.
Portland -- it's greener, its winters are milder, and AFAIK
it doesn't have air-quality problems to the degree that SLC does.
Flagstaff AZ or Las Cruces NM?
Flagstaff... more vibrant with better amenities/entertainment, better outdoor recreation opportunities with its mountainous backdrop, and it's within a short drive of other desirable destinations like Phoenix, Sedona and the Grand Canyon. It has a large university presence just like Las Cruces but has a lot more to offer beyond that.
Lewisburg. It's not as snowy, has a great downtown, and a scenic riverside setting.
Iowa City, Iowa or College Station, Texas?
Nothing against College Station, but I kinda like the feel of Iowa City a little better. College Station is better than I thought it'd be for a Texas college town, when I street viewed it and looked up data for it.

Cape Girardeau I guess, since it appears to be a little bigger. And it is a short drive away from other charming small towns. I.e. Ste Genevieve, Carbondale, etc. Crime seems to be a slight bit less in Cape, and population is declining more in Paducah vs. Cape.
Norfolk, VA, or Wilmington, NC?
