I feel like I say this so often, but this one is indeed a tough one. Neither city is near the top of our list but I view them both favorably and am very confident my family could live happily in either one.
My wife and I are both more familiar with Atlanta, and between '11-'15 I was spending nearly a month in Atlanta each year for work so I feel somewhat comfortable there. It's pretty much a tossup but I would lean towards Atlanta due to that familiarity.
Dallas we have visited a handful of times recently and also have some close family there, but it's much more of an unknown. I feel like we've seen enough to know it would be suitable for us, but not enough to feel I can select it over ATL. Lack of income tax is a positive factor though.
Newark. Not the biggest fan of both areas but Newark's Downtown, Ironbound, & Branch Brook Park are okay plus I like it's transit & close proximity to NYC, Jersey City, & Hoboken.
Speaking of the Newark area:
Harrison, NJ or Harrison, NY?
Asheville... Both are great cities with lots to do but I like how Asheville is less isolated within it's region (2 hours or less to Knoxville, Charlotte, and Greenville) and that is has warmer summers.
Lebanon, NH. It looked nicer based on the images I saw plus it's 2hrs from Boston.
Cheyenne, WY or Helena, MT?
Cheyenne, WY
It is larger (64k vs 31k). Has much better proximity to a few Colorado major cities. 100 miles to Denver & Boulder. 45 miles to Fort Collins. The Black Hills/Mt. Rushmore in SD are close enough for a weekend trip.
Benson, AZ or Nebraska City, NE?

Benson because it's close to Tucson and I like Arizona more than Nebraska.
Denver, as it seems more diverse (as in truly diverse, not diverse in the librul definition).
Des Moines, IA or Omaha, NE?
