On the hotel front, I have points only with Hyatt & Choice right now. So while I have enough miles to get me anywhere in style, I wont have a nice comfy room to sleep in.

100k HA miles can convert to 200k HH points. Or about 4-5 nights in an upper level hotel.

Without any specific travel plans in mind, whats more generally more valuable? I can keep my HA points alive by using their silly rewards toolbar and doing a few searches each month, thus extending the expiry date. Or, is it better to move them over to Hilton so they can be ready for an award booking when I decide?

Looking at where HA flies I would think you could book a great trip. I do see your point about a nice room, but hotel rooms are not costing a lot right now.
