Wouldn't it make the more sense for knowledge to correspond to Atlas because of its technology and creation to Mistral because of its fertility and agriculture?

Destruction being Vacuo would then make more sense because then because creation-destruction duality would be expressed as an east-west duality geographically.

This would leave Vale as choice, which I think is fitting since they're sort of the political hub that binds the other nations together and is the origin point of the adventure where everyone's trying to decide what they're going to do as huntsmen. (Not that we ever got any satisfactory answers in this respect.)

Choice and knowledge doesn't really contrast each other in any overt way. If anything they are entirely identical. Choices allow you to gain knowledge by process of induction and elimination and knowledge allow you to become aware of what choices are available and maybe even create new ones.

However, while they don't contrast very strongly with each other, as a dichotomy they do contrast with the creation-destruction dichotomy: choice and knowledge overtly augment each other whilst covertly undermining each other while creation and destruction explicitly counteract each other, but implicitly give rise to each other.
