Hmm, I didn't think this thread was supposed to be an argument about transport options, but I'll enter the ring anyway...
Coming from Bank, I'd say it's probably best to go with the DLR just to avoid having to change at London Bridge. The time it takes walking through the tunnels, up and down escalators, and waiting for a connecting train adds up. Besides, if it's your first trip to the Hilton Canary Wharf you might find it a little difficult to find your way on foot from Canary Wharf tube station to the hotel. If you use the DLR then you'll find it easily, and on subsequent trips you can use the tube.
P.S. Staying there for the first time in a few days and looking forward to it with overblown expectations!
