Job market/economy: Denver
Cost of living: Nashville
Quality of life: Denver
This one is tough because all three are hot right now. Denver is the winner because it offers more opportunities and is more progressive. Denver is larger, has better infrastructure, and not in the Bible Belt. Denver is more active with less of a workaday mentality.

Just spent a few days in Raleigh for the first time. Not impressed GF brought it up as a place to live one day, but I couldnt. Simply too suburban and boring. Spent a week in Denver 5 years ago, and liked it. Never been to Nashville but hear great things.

Totally agree with this.
I'd go with Denver. They have a great rail system, much more progressive, closer to the incredible Rockies, and is larger than either Nashville or Raleigh.
Nashville is probably the most "booming" in terms of brand new development and diverse jobs right now, and Raleigh is pretty strong for its high paying white collar jobs and its economy and growth too.
But Raleigh will feel much smaller than either Denver or Nashville.
I'd pick Raleigh for families, Denver for DINKs, and Nashville for singles. That said, they are three different cities so it depends on your particular interests.

Ranking goes-
3 Raleigh
2 Nashville
1 Denver
That's a joke. RTD is a bankrupt mess and arguably the worst rail system in the country. The other 2 don't even have it though, so hard to compare that. Denver and Raleigh are very different, if you like one, you won't like the other, Nashville has elements of both.
Denver's housing market has started to stall because it's pretty stretched relative to wages. It's still possible to get housing though, just don't expect a 5 bedroom house closer to downtown.
Raleigh fits more of the typical American family, Denver's kinda love or hate, hard to tell if you'd like it without knowing what you want.
