I used to be a SPG-Marriott guy before I stopped traveling for work, Plat at both and I can tell you Silver at Marriott is pretty much useless. No real benefits except 20% more points until you reach gold. Gold gets you lounge access and I think these days gold also gets you free internet.

I think I got comped Gold at Hilton at one point but I didn't stay there much and can't quite remember what the benefits were.
