I enjoy both.
Beziers has had some recent regeneration to improve the more run down areas.
Narbonne has interesting roman remains.
Don't forget Pezenas, Minerve and the Cathar castles !

We have stayed two times in a gîte outside Pézénas and really enjoyed the active, but laid back, feel of Bézier. They have a very active cultural program with various concerts, readings, plays etc. and very good restaurants on the Allées Paul Riquet. I love the old town, the (former)Cathedral St. Nazaire and its view over the valley at sunset. We saw Verdi's 4 Seasons performed live there= Wow!factor with all the sculptures etc. The 7 (or is it nine?) locks of Fonsérane are very enjoyable way to spend an afternoon and have a drink.
I haven't been to Narbonne,just passed by, so can't offer much there, but if you do a further search here someone did a very nice report on it some time back.
