Thanks for your reply Babo,
After reading your reply I found this article that breaks it down really well:

Now the issue I have is that we have a Hilton Surpass card that I opened just for the 10 Priority Pass and as a result of the signup bonus, I have 134 000 stuck on Hilton, so I feel tempted to transfer more points in the future to get the 5th night free. But now after your reply and reading the article, I think that maybe I should start thinking about Marriott rather than Hilton. I'm going to downgrade the Hilton to a nonannual fee one because I basically don't need it.
Now another thing to consider is that the Platinum gives me Hilton Gold as well as Marriott Gold but the Marriot Gold doesn't come with free breakfast.
