I have lived in each of those, so I have some experience. I prefer small towns and even remote locations. I could become a hermit and be quite happy with that.
I have often envisioned my dream home as a small (not tiny) cabin on a heavily forested five-acre lot. Bonus points if it has a gold-bearing stream cutting through, so I don't have to travel far to do some gold panning. Room for a garden for fresh fruits and vegetables.
I don't care for cities or suburbs, but I like the availability of supplies and services that they provide. It's the noise, crime, and pollution that I don't like.
