Also, bundled with Citi AAdvantage MC and Citi Hilton Reserve makes this a total package for me. I have never had a bad experience at a Hilton and relatively no complaints with AA.
If you are a regular AA flier you will almost certainly get more value using the 30K TYP for $480 worth of AA flights than for HHonors points.
