I did a winter season in Breckenridge in 2008/2009 and it I would definitely recommend it. The biggest bonus of living in Breck is that there is a free bus service (hopefully it still exists) that goes to Keystone and A-basin ski resorts and the towns of Frisco and Dillon. The town itself is much more condensed with bars and restaurants being on one main road, which creates a pretty awesome apres lifestyle. Rent in town wasn't too horrendous but that may have changed now that the US economy has recovered since 2008.

I only visited Vail about 3-4 times during my stay, but I found that it's a lot more isolated and the village tends to cater towards big spenders. Breckenridge is pretty well set up for locals and seasonal workers with a full size supermarket and leisure centre. There were loads of local sport teams looking for people to join throughout the year, so meeting people in Breck is quite easy. It's pretty easy to get to Frisco or Dillon from Breck for retail goods and a cinema and it's closer to Denver.
