No Admirals club in the airport is worth a terminal transfer if the terminal you're in already has a club (with the exception of maybe avoiding the tiny club in B if it's crowded).
Assuming you're already in the same terminal you're departing from...
- If you are in A, go to the A club.
- If you are in B (low gates), just go to the B club.
- If you are in B (high gates), go to the A club if you have plenty of time.
- If you are in C, go to the C club.
- If you are in D, just find a bar.
- If you are in E, I'm sorry.

None of them are really nice except for the new one in A. The rest feel like a 1990s marriot in my opinion. If you have Centurion access then its nice but can be crowded and food selection has gone down hill a bit.

I was in that Centurion recently. It was absolutely packed. It's also kind of long and narrow, making it that much harder to maneuver. If it hadn't been so busy (and it got even worse after I arrived), I suppose it would have been pretty nice.

Sure, A is new, but too shiny/bright and open IMO. Fine for a typical short visit but after 30 minutes there, I feel like I am just in a mall atrium.
B is kind of cramped, and has few working electrical outlets. But, for some reason if I was to sit at the bar, the coziness of B is preferred to the alternatives.
I suppose I am in the minority, but given the three ACs right now, I find C the most comfortable if I was stuck at DFW for an extended period of time. Typically, it is easy to find a quiet area (except near the bar), and the light is subdued.
