SPG to airlines miles is relatively more valuable than in 2006 because the transfer ratio remains 20000:25000, while many hotel redemption rates increased. Whether converting to airline miles is absolutely more valuable for you still depends on your hotel and airline redemption patterns.

HHonors has (basically) two airline redemption ratios, 10000:1500 and 10000:1000. You can achieve greater value by transferring to one of the 1500 mile carriers, but by and large you would want to use HHonors points for hotel stays.
