I spent a whole week in Padua and while I did day trips most days, I spent a couple whole days (plus all the other evenings) in Padua and loved it. Plan to go back. Vicenza was Ok bu I felt I'd had enough after about half a day.

Difficult choice. Vicenza is way more beautiful, but also way more boring as far as urban life. And one of those rare Italian places where it's rather difficult to get a more-than-just-decent meal in the evening. Padova is a university town, thus with plenty of students, and a far less calm & distinguished atmosphere than Vicenza. It's perfectly possible to see the main sights of both towns in one day each.
