Even so, cannot decay and death be beautiful? Lothlorien may have had timelessness (for a time), but wouldn't you grow weary of the same look? I know I would. The withering of the old, and the grow of the new upon the shell of the old is beautiful to some. If you don't have decay, you won't experience that. So, I would go with Gondolin for the First Age, and Imladris for the Third Age.
