Depends what you want. If I'm traveling with the kids, I'll take a residence/towneplace or element because I'm guaranteed a suite, a kitchenette with full size fridge, and free hot breakfast (compare the "continental breakfast" amenity I get at full service SPG hotel as a platinum, which can be extremely hit or miss).
