Interesting pairing. I'll take Saugerties, the Hudson Valley/Catskills region is an area I've been curious about for a while but it's unlikely I'll spend time there in the foreseeable future. (My one connection to the NYC area is my mom, and her parents --- long gone now --- lived on the other end of the metro on Long Island.)
Besides the curiosity of a town named Utica being right next door, nothing about Seneca particularly stands out, in a metro area (Greenville) that I already don't have a strong impression of in any particular way. I think I'd try to live closer to Charlotte if I were moving to SC.
Midland, TX or Billings, MT?
I'll pick Billings. I have this feeling that(if I were to do roadtrips) that nearby areas of rural Montana, would be more interesting than rural west Texas. I know there are a few other places in west Texas that might be interesting(i.e. the towns of Alpine and Marfa, Big Bend National Park, Lubbock, and perhaps also Amarillo), but to me I find Montana more interesting. And is it just me that while Midland isn't as boring as say like the Washington tri-cities(Pasco, Kennewick, etc) or Yakima, Midland and Odessa still didn't stand out that much to me on street view.
I should look up the town of Saugerties on street view. For whatever reason, that is one I hadn't quite looked up.
As for the comparison I missed, probably the one near Rochester, providing I had the money to afford a house there. Nothing against the one in Michigan, but it's further away from Ann Arbor than I prefer.
Frankfort. It seems like a nicer town overall, and I like the fact that it's small and yet a state capital. I also like its regional location in a scenic area between several major cities.

Atlanta, GA or Washington, DC?
I've been to both and could live in either but Washington a little more. Cleveland or St. Louis?

I have a hard time shaking the Rust Belt image I have of these cities, but I'm sure they've both made strides to get beyond that. Climate-wise, I'd pick Cleveland in the summer and St. Louis in the winter. But if I have to pick one, I think I'd like St. Louis a little bit better.
Now, for those who like it hot: Las Vegas, NV or Phoenix, AZ?
Location: northern Vermont - previously NM, WA, & MA

Phoenix, it's a more complete city with a wider range of communities in the area to choose from, nicer desert landscaping, and Arizona is a beautiful state with more to offer than Nevada.

Boston or Philadelphia?
Of these two Colonial cities, I like Boston quite a bit better as a "livable" city. But I'd pick Philadelphia anyway. I lived there for 10 years, so it's much more familiar and comfortable to me. Cost of living is lower, and I like its location between New York and Washington better.

Memphis, TN or New Orleans, LA?
New Orleans if I had a time machine
Seattle, WA or Denver, CO?
