USA because Iceland is only 300,000 people, which is tiny, and their would be limited job or Living options, I would also have to learn Icelandic which would be a pain, and a pleasure too an extent but it would take a while, Also would have to deal with the darkness. USA on the other hand would have lots of jobs and I would have the choice of a massive and diverse country to live in. I think stuff is a bit more expensive in Iceland and I like cooking Turkish, Indian, Asian food and I think that ingredients would be easier to find in the USA. Don't get me wrong I like Icelandic people and their beautiful country, but it's USA for me.

I hate to say it outloud but Iceland is one of the few places I know of that I would rather not live than the US.

It honestly seems pretty boring and I imagine that super-Northern sun must be miserable.

A country with with guaranteed rights, tons of usable land or an arctic rock with 5% habitable land? I will take America any day.

I'll say Iceland overall, but the real answer is that it'd depend which part of the US is being offered. I like the East Coast a lot and that might win out in a hypothetical scenario.
