Both poor but Plymouth wins. All climates in Scandinavia have way too short of a warm season - in May and September they're still pretty chilly/ already a massive cool down.
Stockholm for more seasonal variation. If I'm gonna be in a place with dark winters, I want frequent snow to lighten things up. Plus I like snow anyway, and I also want warm summers. Stockholm must be really nice in the summer with highs in the low 70s and 18 hour days. Plymouth seems to have a similar climate to coastal Oregon (i.e. boring temperatures and lots of light wintertime rain).
I think this is an interesting battle in terms of Stockholm's warmer July and August will probably cancel out a lot of warm-preference people, whereas its UHI winters hovering only right above freezing could hurt the 'turnout' of cold lovers in this vote!
So let's see how this goes! My vote goes to Stockholm for its pleasant summers. Plymouth would feel so boring that time of the year. If it had three degrees warmer winters it'd win out with ease, but it's not quite enough with a 20.0C avg high for the warmest month...
I don't know what you mean by UHI winters. Is that data for downtown or the airport? Also, the Jan mean temp is below freezing and the high barely above freezing. TBH sounds terrible compared to Plymouth in winter.

Massive chilliness when May has as a higher high and record high in Stockholm? And if September is warmer in Plymouth but June cooler than in Stockholm, does it matter?

The airport has a humid continental climate because it's farther north, farther inland and way from any large urban areas. I'd say the 1981-2010 avg means for January at Arlanda are more like... -3.7C. They're not really public though, so guessing from 61-90 numbers.

Ei saatana.
This autistic Köppen climate definition crap should be banned forever.

Inneri Stockholmi is actually quite oceanic for perkele's sake
But that's just a small UHI. I completely agree that the coldest month of every winter (Dec-March coldest month every winter) is likely to reach -3C already in the suburbs.
