I'll go with Cary. Lived next door to Phrisceaux for several years. It's gotten way more diverse than when we lived in DFW, but it's still the epitome of overpriced cookie cutter suburbia. It's on the outer fringes of the metro far from Downtown Dallas and both airports. It has no public transportation, a "downtown" that's like 5 blocks long and strip malls, chain restaurants, and big box stores galore. The school district has built WAY too many schools as part of a strategy to keep class sizes small, but that means higher taxes and a house of cards funding model.

Of the two, I've only been to Cary, but Frisco is the newer city. Cary had nearly 100,000 people in 2000 while Frisco had just over 30,000. Now Frisco is considerably larger and farther away from the core of the metro. I think "new" and "far" are what suburban people are drawn to, so I'll say Frisco.
Frisco, TX is the premiere suburb in America right now. Access to the one of the largest and fastest growing metro areas in the country, dynamic economy, lot of amenities. Kind of hard for most suburbs to compete against it.

Don’t really understand it. It’s cookie cutter suburban sprawl on flat land. Looks like any other nondescript suburb. If this is the premiere suburb in America, beam me out of here please. I can think of 20 nicer streetcar suburbs around the country where I would much rather live.

True story - prior to it becoming a Flavor of the Month suburb, Frisco was just a wide spot on Highway 121 that was known for a cat house, bath houses, and massage parlors with happy endings.
