South Station and Union Station are both pretty nice. Penn Station is the laggard here.
Acela is awesome when you have time, and you believe the trip can be reliable. As I said earlier, I have suffered some horrific delays on Acela recently. Obviously airplanes get delayed too, but these delays made me mark down the relative reliability of Acela. It's more expensive too.
Amtrak is great for doing trips up to the Hudson Valley, though
