if i had the choice id say goldy..no work on the sunny coast at the moment and the crowds are ridiculas for the amount of quality waves(not many)

I've lived in both places. I think the Sunny coast has a more laid back and chilled vibe. The Gold Coast is more party orientated and can get pretty full on at times.

Also lived at both Goldie and Sunny coast, consitency and wave quality the goldie wins hands down, yeah it's crowded but it has some of the best waves in OZ, Sunny coast on the other hand, gets half the amount of swell and 90% of the time is crap, even with a good ground swell options can be very limited and mostly crap....and even though it's less crowded than the goldie it's still crowded.
Yeah the Goldie is these days really a city, but the sunny coast is also pretty busy, but lacks quality nightlife (except in summer)

Indo-dreaming has nailed it.
There is a third way.

Hey guys,
I'm thinking about moving to either the Sunny coast or Gold coast next year..
Just wondering where you guys think the most consistant surfing beaches are, and the best general place to live..
As you would have more of an idea than myself..
Thanks!
