Should we file MFJ or MFS if we live in two separate states, Tennessee and Arkansas

I live and work in Tennessee and my husband lives and works in Arkansas.  Should we file MFJ or MFS?  Do I have to file AR state tax?  

 

We also, want to start contributing to a Roth IRA, but have heard that you can't contribute if we file MFS?  Does it matter if it's roth or traditional?
