I assume there's a size minimum? If not then there are hundreds of combinations that are far more different before we start talking about these options...
But assuming metro areas of 1M or more, I'd say Jax vs Miami is a good choice. NYC vs Buffalo or Rochester is up there as well. In CA, SD and Sac strike me as the two most different large metros.
Richmond and Norfolk are very different from each other as the two most prominent cities in the state. Much more different than Raleigh and Charlotte...
Buffalo and New York should be the runaway winner...

Richmond and Norfolk are much more different from each other than Raleigh and Charlotte are from each other.
