JeffSpicoli, welcome to FlyerTalk!

Your thread was wisely moved to this forum. One specific suggestion would be to browse the organization of the hotel forums. You'll find one on each major program, and a forum on the smaller ones. Most all the larger-program hotel forums have threads which compare that program -- or some of its key features -- to some others.

But for specifics, you'll want to know your travel patterns and likes and dislikes -- and whether a particular program's properties are available where you're likely to stay and to your liking. No use building up elite status and points in a program in which you're not crazy about the hotels you're not as likely to stay in because there are few choices where most travel takes you.

Now that your thread has been moved to TravelBuzz, I'll give this a more specific thread title. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator.
