I don't know about "begging", but I also will ask the check-in agent about a suite upgrade at a CY. And my suite upgrade % at CYs has been pretty good.
My personal preference is similar to what others have mentioned. If I'm traveling alone and for work, I will almost always choose a CY over a close by RI. But when traveling with the family, I'll go the RI route.
