I'd rather not live in either. I hate large cities, but I also recognize the rural society depicted as idealistic and not representative of reality.
If I had to choose, though, and if my health weren't an issue (it would otherwise take the choice away from me) I think it'd be the agrarian commune. Mostly because I really can't stand large cities. They stifle me.
