>Mercury is better than Mars

They're both low-gravity worlds, so it's not happening.
Mercury and Mars might be nice places for industrial installations - Mercury in particular would probably be an excellent place to produce energy, extract resources, manufacture enormous quantities of goods, but the lack of gravity would retard any permanent habitation.
I can't stress this enough: you can protect the human body from almost any environmental danger in space (heat, cold, radiation) with proper equipment and life-support systems, except gravity and a lack of gravity will just slowly cripple and kill you - it might in fact be better for your body to have a little more gravity than not enough.
