The only one I've been to is Chicago, and I didn't like it.
Chicago proper, or Chicagoland (aka, the suburbs) and which ones?

Chicagoland is one of the few places I've lived for a significant period of time. It wasn't my thing either - I just don't do big metropolitan areas so much - but the forest preserve system along the north shore alone is something amazing.

Both.

I am not sure of all the suburbs I've gone through, but Wheaton was were I spent the most time, at the Theosophical Society. Beautiful grounds, though the organization left a bad taste in my mouth(figuratively speaking).

Yeah, its the 'sprawling' aspect I didn't really like. Too busy.

I enjoyed the lake, though. Part of me has bonded very strongly with it over the years, and I'd love to be able to be closer to it some day.

I really can't give an informed opinion, because I've only been to four of the ten listed.

Of the four I've visited, I would have to go with Pittsburgh, because I like the hills.

I spent a good deal of my life in Chicago until just before the turn of the century. One of the tipping points that affected my departure with a 60 mile commute that took me 7 hours.

The best isn't even on the list....
The People's Republic Of Ann Arbor.

Trivia....
"Ann Arbor" is an ancient Potawatami word for "snooty liberals"
In the Wyandot language, it means "Birkenstock wearing".

And along the Chicago river. I can vouch, I pretty much lived in the forest preserves there when I was a teenager.

I absolutely loved the Des Plaines River trail system. I'd ride my bike on it frequently.
