I suspect most people in this forum will say SPG is the best whereas most people in the Marriott forum will say MR is the best and most people in the Hilton forum will say HH is the best.

Seriously, a lot of it depends on where you travel and who has hotels near by. *Wood has roughly 750 hotels whereas Marriott and Hilton have many, many more. This could be an issue if you travel to places like El Paso, TX (no *Wood properties). Every program is slightly different and it depends on what matters to you. Personally, I love SPG, can't stand MR (still a Plat and still get lousy service from people who are unable to decipher what "high floor, away from elevator, thank you" means) and think most Hilton's (and their lesser bretheren) should be "remodeled" with a wrecking ball and some dynamite.
