First of all, there is no god, heaven or hell, but for sake of argument, we will accept the bible as the word of god.
The bible god is a warmonger.
One third of the angels left heaven (I guess it is not really that great after all).
Satan does nothing immoral according to the bible.
The only thing Satan did was piss off god by showing Adam and Eve the path to true freedom and happiness.
Even in the Job story, I see nowhere in the bible that states Satan actually did the killing.
Nowhere in the bible has Satan lied. There are only unfounded suggestions and statements to that effect.
It was not until Dante's 'Inferno' that Satan really started getting a bad rap.
So yes, I definitely choose hell over heaven.
All I know to say in response to your answer is this, you know nothing about the scriptures, I hope it's not because God has given you a mind of confusion because you have mocked the work of the Holy Spirit.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
