NC without a doubt. Nice 4 seasons, varied topography from mountains to barrier islands. Reasonably large cities to tiny little mountain towns.
I wouldn't say nice 4 seasons, its muggy most of the year and can get chilly. Granted it isn't like the midwest. It does have varied topography, but it seems like FOREVER driving from one to the other. Large cities have tons of things to do, but they are packed in. Small towns are pretty trashy, but nice.
I was stationed at Lejeune and theres a difference from Jacksonville to Richlands (30 mins) and different from the big cities (1-3 hrs). The beaches are amazing and I honestly enjoyed them more than cali beaches.
It is "the south", but the area in NC depends on that. Larger cities, no, they claim it though. Smaller rural cities, yes, and you can understand why on a Sunday morning at a piggly wiggly.
Overall NC is a pretty good state. I would say it is indeed more "southern" than NWA.
I'm from the north though, and "southern feeling" can be felt the same in rural areas tbh.

Just like SC the sandhills have the worst in terms of weather and humidity. That strip of ancient coast that runs through "Fayettenam" with nothing but pine barrens forest is not the most appealing visually or climate-wise.
My favorite part is Western NC and the strip between the tiny town of Saluda and Asheville. It is a dream for someone that likes backpacking, small stream trout fishing, mountain biking, and rock climbing. There is even some decent East coast skiing if you spend a lot of time skiing the ice in the East you are a god on the powder in the west.
You get a real fall with plenty of color change and enough winter to get a few decent snows.
