Ok folks can people please give me a general idea of pros and cons of these two places and where would you rather live while in Korea?

Both are outside of Seoul. Incheon is much larger, but further away. There's plenty of margin for error in placement as well. You could be closer to Seoul of each city's center and have a decent enough time, or you could be pretty far removed, forcing you to take lengthy buses, etc.

I live in Guri and absolutely love it. It's large enough that it has everything you need, but it's still very close to Seoul. If you're lucky enough to be in the downtown area like I am, all of the essentials are within a very close walking distance. To get to places like Dongdaemun or City Hall Station, it's only a 30-45 minute train ride. Incheon is much farther away from Seoul.

Not really. You can get to areas like Hongdae, Yongsan, City Hall etc from several places in Incheon in about the same amount of time. Totally depends where you're located.
