East vs. West Egg is pretty much rich vs. poor but in the story there really isn't a battle between both its just a statement that all the rich live on one side of the river and all the poor on the other.
East Egg is were all the fancy rich people live. In the East egg Daisy, Tom and probably Jordan live. They live there because they are considered rich and have good paying jobs.This was used as a barrier between Daisy and Gatsby as an example of how there love is, separated. I believe this was also used for Jordan and Nick because they wont get so close to each other because they both know that Nick doesn't have so much money, this was probably used for Tom and Myrtle too.
The West Egg is were Nick and Gatsby live. This is were the lower class lives, the less rich or poor. But you could also be rich but you just don't know were your life is headed yet so those people come and live here. Like Gatsby but he lives there because he wants to be across from Daisy. Also so his parties can be a little "private."
