I don't think you can actually single a city out, everywhere is pretty great. It would depend on your hobbies. Vienna is great for concerts just as is Salzburg. If you like walking both these cities have good areas to take part in walks.

Austria is quite small so where ever you live there is something not far. Like skying, walking, wildlife etc....

If you want to live in a city but want a quiet life, Baden bei Wien. The sounding of your horn on your car is not permitted.
