The major con IMO is Maui is much more travel time, I mean basically a full day additional travel time between the round trip flights.

Food and drinks-Hawaii is better
Culture- I think Hawaii is better

Beaches-Caribbean.

What time of year? Hawaii can get chilly in the winter and the surf is much bigger in the winter.

Maui I would think is also going to cost more just to play?

$$ not an issue. The travel time doesn't really bother me. Trying to get an idea as far as the destination goes

Maui and St. John are both expensive islands. St. John doesn't have nearly as many restaurants but has some excellent ones (ZoZo's at the Sugar Mill comes to mind).

The beauty of St. John is that you can charter a boat (from my buddy Steve at Rockhoppin) or hop on a ferry and visit the BVI. Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda and even Anegada are a ferry ride away.

There's a host of things to do. You can lay on the beach, rent a jeep and head out to Coral Bay and have lunch at Skinny Legs or hike on the trail system. Over 60% of St. John is a national park so there's tons of nature to explore. You can also rent a dinghy for the day and explore the beaches and coves from the water.

The bar scene at night in Cruz Bay is pretty good. Beach Bar, Joe's Rum Hut, Banana Deck and High Tide to name a few.

If you have more specific questions just ask. I'm on St. John once or twice a year.
