If you had to pick one, which would it be, and why?
Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.
You need more info, as they all have cool things going for them, and the all have drawbacks. Boone is great if you can stay in a motel and hit a good weather weekend. Rocktown rules for week long + trips. HP40 is the disney land of bouldering. LRC is rad, but has paperwork to deal with. The bald cannot be beat of a sunny January day, if you have a place to stay in Asheville. Etc, and on and on.
Everything else being equal, I like the problems at gmom the best, with rocktown 2nd, and the others all pretty much tied for 3rd.

What Wes said.
I think I like Rocktown problems best. Sandstone problems, powerful projects, killer highballs, and lots of potential for many problem moderate days when you are worked.
Mostly it's about where the weather is best.........
Summer early Fall -- Boone area (way more blocks than anywhere else, cools off quicker than anything else, cold in winter).
Fall / Winter -- Rocktown and LRC come into season.
Winter -- Bald is warm and perfect on sunny days, HP 40 comes into season, Rocktown still rules and dries out well if there is a wind.
Spring -- Back to Boone

I NEED to go on a bouldering trip this winter. I'm in for any trips I can fit in between family and work obligations.

HP40 is cool if you've never been. It's a lot of squeezing and smearing. It's concentrated too and the problems are easy to spot. The only drawback is after only a few visits you'll do everything within your limit.
