Good Omens Character Crowley similar to Satan

As I began reading Good Omens, by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, I was releived that it didn't contain "books" that i would have to read through twice in order to mildly understand. It became a smoother read for me as as i continued through the book I came across a paragraph that seemed strikingly familiar to Paradise Lost:

"no more world. Just endless Heaven, or depending who won, endless Hell. Crowley didn't know which was worse. Well, Hell was worse of course, by definition. But Crowley remembered what Heaven was like, and it had quite a few things in common with Hell. You couldn't get a decent drink in either of them, for a start. And the boredom you got in Heaven was almost as bad as the excitement you got in Hell. But there was no getting out of it." (p.23)

I am not sure if anyone else picked up on this, but the first thing that popped into my head was Satan saying " Better to reign in Hell then serve in Heaven!"(1.263) While Satan had originally looked around him and saw how horrible Hell was, he seemed doomed. But then he trned it around and assumed the position of leader, claiming it was better for him to have power in Hell the to live in servitude in Heaven.

For Crowley, he has mixed emotions. He knows that Hell is supposed to be worse then Heaven, but he can't say that he was completely satisfied in Heaven. And he has been to both extremes, one too boring for him, the other with a bit too much excitement. While he was torn between which one was better- he did have one thing right- for angels there was no in-between, you were either in Heaven or in Hell. Feel free to chose the lesser of two evils.

So the question still remains, and I ask it to you: Is it better to be in Heaven, or Hell? Let me know, because I'm with Crowley on this one- I don't know which one is better.
