Either:
*not too- "If you don't come, she won't come either"
*one of the two- "either of these will do"
*this or that- "either come, or stay!"
...
Neither:
*not either- "neither of us is happy with it"
"neither Tom nor Itay are friends of mine" ["nor" is the negative "or"].

Either way is good means any one of them is good. Neither is good means non of them is good. Neither this nor that is good means this is no good and the other also is no good.

"the two" and "or" are used while there are 2 achieveable strategies for something. ex. Mary desires to ask the two Jason or Alex to the dance. "Neither" and "nor" is used while there are 2 issues that are actually not opportunities. that's the unfavourable form of "the two" and "or". ex. William likes neither rooster nor pork because of the fact he's a vegetarian.

Either..or is a way to express two or more choices: Either Fred or Mary (or Jane or Ernest or ...) did it.
Neither..nor is a way to express two or more negative choices: Neither Fred nor Mary (nor Jane nor Ernest nor ...) did it.
