Re: Where must I file
Likely you would have to file where the defendant is located. That is where the court can asert jurisdiction.

Yes, John is right.
Generally, you can file in either state but good luck collecting once your adversary no shows.
File in the state of the defendant's domicile or primary place of business where jurisdiction will not be in doubt.
