Stuck between two genuinely good options

This isn't a good-versus-bad decision — both roads are genuinely fine. The job and the other job. Staying and going. And somehow that makes it harder, not easier: with no obviously wrong choice, there's nothing to rule out, so you just circle, waiting for a certainty that two good options are never going to give you.

A little with peers

Mostly a skill — a clear way to compare when both are fine and there's no wrong answer (knowledge) — with a little nerve to commit and stop looking back (guidance). Private.

What’s really going on

When both options are good, you're not looking for the right answer — there isn't one, and that's exactly what's jamming you. You keep hunting for the deciding fact that proves one is better, but two good roads don't come with one. So the question changes: not "which is better?" but "which kind of life do I want to be living, and which regret could I not stand?" Those you can actually answer. Let's stop grading the options and start choosing the person you'd rather become.
