I am Hilton Gold and a PC Plt. Neither gives that much. With PC Plt I am upgraded all the time. However, there is not much differences between the rooms I booked and the "upgraded" rooms. Once in a while, I stay at a PC property with a Club floor. Then the upgrade is worth something. With Hilton Gold, there just the extra bonus points and that's it. I have never been upgraded as a Hilton Gold.

Also, I like PC because number of promotions and the point break rewards (although I have never used one, the concept is wonderful.)
