I would choose Heaven. I want to live at least one full lifespan experiencing the life I've always dreamed of—one free from chronic pain and Asperger's. I wish for a life where I'm not avoided, but instead have a small circle of close friends and a loving girlfriend by my side.
(Right now I'm too damaged for friendships or relationships, I'm too far gone)

If we didn't have to deal with the problems we having today I personally wouldn't choose non existence....
I mean if the world was like how the bible describes it will be under God's kingdom I'd like to stay..
Examples
1.Abundant food (psalms 72:16)
2.No wars(Isaiah 2:4).
3.No death(1cor 15:26).
4.No pain (rev 21:3,4)
5.No sickness(isaiah33:24).
6.Meaningful work ( isaiah 65:23).
7.adequate housing for all(Isaiah 65:21-22).
8.Captalism gone..... And so many other promises in the bible...
The problem is WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THESE WILL COME TRUE...

Maybe all these 8 things you mentioned, are what heaven is really like. But nobody knows for certain, as nobody returned from heaven to tell us how things are there.

Heaven, I don't believe in it. But I wouldn't mind if it let me see the people I love again. Even just once.

For me, it's nonexistence. After reading through the Pauline doctrine and Thomas Aquinas' "Beatific Vision" doctrine, it paints the picture that Heaven is not some eternal cosmic resort of infinite human pleasure and satisfaction.
Your physical body after you enter the realm of the dead doesn't really exist anymore; thusly, your brain and your mortal mind are gone. Only your soul, your existential essence, remains. As for what happens to your soul, it unionizes close with God, which is said to be a fundamentally euphoric and deeply existentially wholesome experience.
The mystical point of view is that this causes your ego to dissolve under the weight of divine experience, while the rationalist point of view is that your ego does not dissolve, but rather you become so perfectly aware of God through the catharsis of heavenly ascension that it LOOKS like you don't have your own will anymore, even though you do. It's just perfectly aligned with God, so it's impossible to tell.
The modern folk interpretation of Heaven only became widespread following the Calvinist/Protestant reforms that split away from the models and doctrine of the old clergy.
I choose the Void. This material existence ultimately has nothing significant enough to offer to convince me to stick around for an eternity. God is the foundation of all existence, and as it is an indifferent (yet simultaneously caring) God that chooses to both love and to harm itself, so am I ultimately indifferent. I don't resist my humanity, though.

Non existence. Especially if heaven was designed by the same creator as this world.

Only non-existence for me, in this existence so torturous, futile and dreadful non-existence is just all I see as desirable and I wish that more than anything I never suffered in this existence I just always saw as a mistake, for me non-existence is just all that can bring me peace, I just wish for peace from the pain and suffering of existing, all I want is to be gone, non-existence really is all that's positive for me and I'll just always prefer true peace than being burdened with this torturous existence that just causes endless amounts of pain and suffering with no limit as to how much agony one can feel, I find it so deeply undesirable to exist in every way possible.
I want non-existence. I do not care if I am giving up eternal happiness, I do not want to be conscious and aware anymore.

Non existence, hands down. I choose to believe the from nothing to nothing mentality.
Sometimes I wonder if Earth is just the universe's penal colony. We were reincarnated into these awful meat sacks as a punishment. Stuck here to suffer for some past life atrocities. Once we've repaid our debt to the universe, we can again surf the cosmos, unencumbered by the "flesh coffin" we were stuffed into. The 1% are the wardens making sure we suffer thoroughly.
Meh.

I'm religious and I voted for heaven, even though when truly thinking about the concept of eternal life, it has always terrified me.
But I was thinking through seeing loved ones in heaven and it occurred to me that I wasn't really that excited about it. I've lost plenty of people but never felt particularly loved growing up. I've never thought about it before.

I'm almost afraid to say heaven because we don't know what it is, do we? Sometimes, I think this life is hell. I mean, hell cannot be worse than this, can it? Are we dead already in hell, being reborn into this all the time? And if this is hell, how can we die and go to heaven from here? In this case, non-existence is better.
However, if this life really is hell, then what is heaven? Maybe heaven is life, and we can either live in hell (current place) or in heaven (the life we are supposed to have)? If I could believe in something better than this, a version where "happily ever after" is possible, heaven might be an option.
But to be safe, maybe it's better just to die dead.
