I don't think correctness needs to be considered. As long as the dancers understand that they're going to do something with the person next to them who isn't their partner, I'm happy, and either term conveys that.

Nowadays I think that I'm more likely to hear the word neighbor come out of my mouth.

Does anyone have an opinion about the use of the term “neighbor”  and the term “opposite” in a Sicilian Circle?

“Neighbor” is more correct from a contra perspective, but “opposite" feels more correct to me from a square dance perspective.

thanks,
