I recently took a job that requires quite a bit of travel and am looking for the best deal. I was focusing on Hilton and Marriott but a friend suggested that I look at the Starwood program and others. Most of my business stays will be a the main hotels in downtown areas. However, I would like to use most of my points for hotel stays at the level of property that includes breakfast and is typically not in downtown (i.e. Embassy, Hampton, Fairfield).

So, which program is best for me??
