Its more a personal decision than anything else.
I would choose Nationals, one because I'm not really interested in going to grad-night, and two because most if not all of the "friends" that I care about are either not in my school or in the team. And most importantly of all: I'd be crazy to miss Nationals. The way I see it, going to any competition feels like a new experience each time, because you don't know exactly what to expect.
My advice is: think of which one you would regret the most missing out on, and then make your decision.
