Marmot or prairie dog?
Aren't they just? This is Alpsee, adjacent to Schloß Neuschwanstein in Bavaria. (©2014 Anna Morgan)
I'm not overly familiar with either of them but I'm going with Prairie Dog just for its cute appearance.
Cats: Pedigree or Moggy?
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
I had to look up moggie first, but definitely moggie.
Zoomy cats or cuddly cats?

Cuddly, I would say, though zoomy can be fun.
Camping in tents or stay at a cottage/cabin?

I used to love camping in tents, but I am too old for that now. I'll take a cottage/cabin.
Canoe or Kayak?
Canoe. I've never felt comfortable in kayaks for some reason, even if I like them in principle.
Motorboat or something unpowered (canoe, sailboat)?
A mighty warrior meets an unusual challenger. The Last Challenge of Jadek Prynn.
Sailboat is,romantic but not a,sailor (but would open to learn)
Fly commercial or fly yourself (even if takes longer to get to your destination)
Commercial. With my lousy eyesight and poor coordination, I couldn't even play Flight Simulator on a PC, let alone fly the real thing. Only an idiot would let me have a pilot's license. And I'm not rich enough to do the private aircraft rental thing (where they supply the pilot).
First/business class or economy?

Economy
Train trip or road trip by car?

In North America, car. In Europe, train.
AC or just move to a cooler part of the house (e.g. basement)?
A mighty warrior meets an unusual challenger. The Last Challenge of Jadek Prynn.
Basement.
Put a swimming pool in or use the community pool?
I can’t imagine a swimming pool would be practical in this climate, but it sure would be nice (as long as we didn’t have to tear out the garden). So, our own private pool.
Grow tomatoes or buy them?

You'd be surprised at how popular they are around here give that swimming season is often just June to mid-August or early September.
Buy them. We don't really have the space for a vegetable garden right now.
Desktop or laptop ("Pro" tablets with a keyboard count as laptops)?
A mighty warrior meets an unusual challenger. The Last Challenge of Jadek Prynn.
Laptop. Don't even have a desktop since I quit working for CSU.

On your phone. More convenient.
Guided tour or drive your own tour?
drive your own tour
While on vacation; follow a schedule or follow your bliss?

Follow your bliss. It's not so much the destination that counts as it is the journey. You miss so much in life if you are always focused on and hurrying to the destination.
Comfort and ease or looks and style even if requires more effort in clothing choices?
Comfort and ease (my wife is the "looks and style" member of the household)
Listen to the news or listen to music?

Listen to Music.
In the car; talk radio or music radio?
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana
Music, but rarely radio anymore. I have Android Auto in the new car so often just stream stuff from my phone. Radio is a bit of a graveyard around here save one decent rock station and the odd program on the CBC (Canadian counterpart to the BBC for you UK folks).
Take the most direct route or a slower one so you have more time with your talk/music?
A mighty warrior meets an unusual challenger. The Last Challenge of Jadek Prynn.
Direct route if time-constrained, otherwise slower route, especially if it's more scenic.
Skydiving or scuba diving?
Scuba diving. It's on the bucket list.
Ride in a submarine or ride in a rocket?

Ugh. Submarine is not good right now. Maybe a ride in Crew Dragon on a Falcon 9.
Salad or roast veggies?
A mighty warrior meets an unusual challenger. The Last Challenge of Jadek Prynn.
I like both, but veggies
Grill steak or salmon?

Salmon. I've kind of lost my taste for steak, at least as we do it in the West. Bulgogi, Korean grilled beef, on the other hand ... drools
Too hot or too cold?
A mighty warrior meets an unusual challenger. The Last Challenge of Jadek Prynn.
Too cold. I can always wear more clothes.
Play poker or play hearts?

Hearts, my father and brother, and I would play Hearts often.
Strawberry Cheesecake or Strawberry Shortcake?
I have to choose?😀 But shortcake. Have not had it in a very long time.
Take a class or teach yourself?
A mighty warrior meets an unusual challenger. The Last Challenge of Jadek Prynn.
I love learning and both are great, but I prefer being around people - you can learn even more from them.
Camping ot motel?
