So, a TA battalion or nine Regular Guards battalions? Not a difficult choice, then (especially as we don't have nine Regular Guards battalions).

Darlington was a dump in the late 1970s when I was stationed at 11 Sigs Regt, Helles Barracks. Camp Centre at Catterick Garrison was like a ghost town.... all run down and closed up when I knew it way back in the mid 1960s'...

Darlington was really posh as I remember it...you see I went to school at the other end of the railway, Stockton-on-Tees. Oh yeah... We and the 'monkey hangers' had it rough, chemical fall-out from Billingham and rust in the water...still it didn't do us any 'arm eh... Last time I looked the only back to backs surviving in the street where I lived were being used as mosques!
Anyway, After a decade or so living in Aldershot anything is going to feel like an escape to the country...

The North certainly doesn't have the monopoly of gash towns. If you move away from the obvious tourist parts of Salisbury, it is a bit of a dump. The town centre has shed loads of charity shops and closed down, boarded up business units. The area around the railway station in particular could be used as a film set for the Walking Dead.
