Marriott hands down!!!!!
I agree. Marriott is obviously a good choice. I hate some hotel chain have the best benefit with some specific credit card like hilton AXON. I like the flexibilty to use all kind of cards. And marriott air package is one of the best redemption in mile and point world. You can achieve the value of your marriott point to 1.5 cents per point.
I stayed in over 20 marriott property worldwide, most of them are amazing.
Aslo if you buy some marriott gift cards, you will get 10% more discount. You can check this inofrmation in marriott forum about recent gift card offer.
