Personally I'd choose Chapel Hill over Madison, but that's mostly on account of the milder weather, which wouldn't be a concern for everyone. The Madison metro area is much smaller and less built-up, which is nice, whereas you can't get much of anywhere in the Triangle area without highway driving. Both are close to lots of beautiful natural areas, both have lots of only-in-a-college-town cultural attractions. Chapel Hill is very much part of the 'New South' demographically, so there wouldn't be as much culture shock as other places in NC.
