Sicily-Trapani/Palermo lodging and amount of time

On our trip to Sicily we are booking our last 2 nights of 8 nights would you give your opinion of where to spend 2 of them, Palermo or Trapani area? We will have a car.

Options right now: Get to Trapani area later in the day or evening after visiting Segesta and staying in Trapani 1 night or 2 nights. Or after 1 night move on to the Palermo area to stay there the last 2 nights. We fly out midday from Palermo.

Also,what other things might be of interest in these areas?
Thanks in advance. You all helped me previosly with my original plan of doing a 14 day trip to Sicily, Bari, and brief AC trip. We boosted it up to 16.

With only 2 nights, probably Palermo. Enough there to keep you busy for a month! The Teatro Massimo, Norman Palace, the Martorana, the Palatine chapel were my favorites. If you didn't see Monreale, then it's got to be Palermo. On the other hand, Trapani is a cute little town perfect for a relaxing finale, with the option of day trips if want to Marsala, salt flats, Erice or Mazara del Vallo if you're not ready to kick back after a hectic week.
