Heaven. I haven't seen anybody come back yet. If I came back to earth, I would only die again. Ever see the movie with Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan where Cage is an angle but comes to earth as a human? He does so because he as an angle, fell in love with her. Problem--she dies. Now he gave up being an angle, is on earth, the love of his life is gone. The Bible gives an analogy about it being better to be a doorkeeper ( meaning a lowly position) in Heaven than a king on earth. Earth is temporal-Heaven is forever. PS-Heaven has nothing lowly or bad to offer. This point is just an analogy stating that IF there were a lowly position in Heaven, it would be better than the best thing on earth

In comparison to the earth we have today, i'd rather choose the heaven because there are no miseries and hardships there above where the Father dwells.
Revelation 21:4
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
But there is a promised new earth with a new heaven which the children of God will inherit.
2 Peter 3:13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
I would't choose to live in this earth again because it will pass away and it will be replaced by a new heaven and earth.
Revelation 21:1
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

If I had a choice and death was not a prerequisite to enter heavens, I'd have liked to shuttle between heaven and earth, and would have tried to make earth more like heaven. Its a bit more difficult now as I have no idea what heaven would be like.
If someone granted this wish of mine!

The phrase "if you could choose" suggests that Heaven and Earth are somehow seperated from eachother. In the tradition of the SIkkism: "Heaven is laid out upon the Earth yet we cannot see it."
Jesus said; "What you are looking for (the kingdom) has come, but you do not know it."
Heaven is not a place, just as Earth is not a place. Each exist upon and within our own conciousness. If you have seen that Earthly diversion offer only temporary solace, then perhaps you are ready to start a new journey and look within, which is what Jesus wanted:
The "kindgom of Heaven is'within'...he never said you had to go anywhere to find it.
Contrary to popular myth, finding the divine realm is matter of EVOLVING beyond that of the individual drive rather than BELIEVING. Buddha said Man's natural state is Enlightement which is everywhere and 'Look within, you are the Buddha." So what's the difference?
You can see this is most other religions too:
-Those who know themeselves, know heaven."- Confucion Book of Changes.
- In the depths of the soul, we find divinity, the ONE." -Sikhism
- Atman (Earthly conciousness) and Brahman (Heavenly conciousness) are ONE.- Hinduism.

Earth, I'm already here, and it's a pretty cool place to be. I'd like to see heaven, but I'd also like to see Mars. The likelihood i'll ever see either is small. But seeing as how mars physically exists I'd say the probability that a trip to Mars is in my future is infinitely larger than a trip to heaven.

Heaven

Some people dedicate their lives to sacrifice in hopes of this heaven they can't even prove.
I choose Heaven - and heaven is right here - Earth!
If you choose afterlife heaven and waste your life away for that - then you are living in HELL.

IF heaven were real, I'd still choose Earth because it's my home.
