My sister and I have decided to move to Ireland or somewhere in the UK sometime next year. But we're trying to figure out the best places to live. Any assistance/advice would be appreciated!

Your primary concern is going to be to get a visa which allows you to live and work in the U.K. or Ireland...not easy. You may visit there for up to 6 months without a visa, but you cannot work. See sites below to research visa regulations.

It is going to be very difficult to move to the UK or Ireland without a clear reason to do so as an American citizen. Employers in both Ireland and the UK must prove before employing someone outside the EU that they could not have employed an equally qualified EU citizen. If you manage to get past the first major hurdle - Visas, Ireland would be cheaper but possibly less cosmopolitan than the UK. Either way, there are no passport restrictions to travel between either country. See the links in the answer above. Also www.fco.gov.uk for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, which have a whole section on Visa requirements.
