I would choose Marriott, only because of lifetime plat, at 1,000 nights. I like Hilton, and think the difference between Plat and Diamond is the same. My issues are Marriott has plat premier, & lifetime plat. They worry about the super travelers. I have never had any issues with Hilton. Any time I call I get what I want period! I do wish though they had something for high level and lifetime status. I average 150 nights a year at hilton, Mostly stay at HI or ES. I choose Hilton, mostly because of the locations I stay at and have never had a reason to leave. They have taken good care of me not great, but good. My other fear is the 1m hh points that I have, Diamond has no blackout dates. I use that a lot, New years at the Waldorf and Indy 500, etc. As I stated earlier Hilton has always given me what I wanted.
