Guys, thanks for all of the inputs. I know I'm not going to get everything on my list. The only one with lifetime is Hyatt and they are the smallest chain of the 9 choices that I have listed.
I'm at the point where I could stick with Marriott or I could build status with another program. Since Marriott is difficult to keep status - 75 nights/yr - and I have that status locked, I thought it was time to try something else.

I've spent a lot of time reading the various boards to come up with Hilton and Hyatt as the final two, although I'd go back to Starwood if they gave me a challenge. I may even opt to nail Hyatt Diamond and then work on Starwood status, as I will be doing a lot of one night stays. That will pretty much eliminate me making lifetime Diamond status, as amount of spend required to make lifetime there almost means that you have to direct all of your stays at Hyatts.
