I'm planning a trip to either Maui or Kauai. My wife wants to stay at the Hyatt, but me being SPG gold would prefer a Starwood since there are chances of upgrades.
1. Does Hyatt offer any sort of status match?

Since
notquiteaff answered #2 I'll try to answer question #1. Hyatt does status match from SPG gold and up to earlier this year (last time I checked) they were matching this level to Diamond so this may be worth exploring if your wife is leaning towards Hyatt.
You can find more info on hotel status match at:

I'd suggest reading the first post and then moving to the end and working your way back as those would be the most recent experiences.
IMPORTANT EDIT: Gold Passport Concierge just posted that Hyatt will NOT continue their status matching program. More info:
