I'm planning to use points and SNA for a 5 nights stay in Dec to visit friends and family. I lived in SG before so I'm familiar with all the locations but never stayed at any Marriotts. Trying to decide which property would give the best bang for the points based on the following priority: SNA probability, size of room, quality of lounge & pool . Location is not that important, we will have people meet us up wherever we stay. So should we go for the JW, StR, W or just save my points and go to LM instead?

I've read this whole thread. I'm afraid I'm only more confused from having read it. I'm traveling with 17 year old daughter. Just the two of us 
I've gleaned that location is important when in Singapore.
Price is also important, as is comfort and a bit of luxury... like free breakfast and lounge. I'm Titanium...
so on my dates, here is the list of what I've narrowed down starting with the cheapest first:
for three nights beginning August:
Four Points: 448
Vagabond: 695
Sheraton Towers: 668
Marriott TP: 793
St. Regis: 810
JW Marriott: 822
Westin: 855
Left out the Courtyard... just not a fan of Courtyards.
Also, we have a 6:10 am flight. Taxi from downtown at 4 am? Price/Time, or take a room at the airport?

Shall we note that the convention here is to quote prices on a per night basis, so that everyone is on the same page?

I quoted 3 nights because for each night it was different, one being higher than the other...
But I could have averaged it for everyone.... that would have made it easier.

JW or Westin are probably your two other obvious choices, both have lounges, very different location in the downtown area, Changi is extremely efficient.
All of these are within 25 minutes by taxi to airport. There's no need to stay at the airport your last night.

JW has a better location, especially for touristy activities, but the rooms are considerably smaller and not as well maintained as the Westin.
If you come for shopping, then Marriott TP has the best location and with a spectacular restaurant breakfast and generous offerings at the lounge

Also consider Grab (SE Asia's Uber) as an alternative to taxi queues.
I think it depends on the shopping you want to do. There's very little in Orchard Road that you can't find somewhere else these days, and the JW is nearby to Suntec City, Raffles City, Bugis Junction, Marina Square, Millenia Walk, CityLink, and probably some others that I'm forgetting.

Another vote here for the Marriott Tang Plaza......tons of shopping and easy travel connections. Stingy with upgrades, nice but busy M Lounge and optional breakfast in the cafe which is a huge buffet.
