Which hotel chain is the best
I will have a lot of business trip from now on and I would like to know which hotel chain I should pick most, Starwood, Hilton or Marriott? Which chain will get points which can be used to stay most free nights? Which chain is easiest to achieve most advanced premier level? Which chain's highest premier level is most worthed one?

You will get better answers to your questions pertaining to comparing hotel chains in the MilesBuzz! forum, which is now the new home of this thread, yang1980.

I think Peppers Resorts here in Australia have a great collection of hotels. Voyages is not bad either but their loyalty program is very basic.
Have you read the stickies and done a search? There are tons of threads which answer your questions. We at the SPG forum normally recommend Hilton as the best chain.

The question is impossible to answer because of too many variables such as how many business trips (stays and nights), destinations, company policies, etc. I use Hilton because it best matches my hotel usage. You need to give a lot more info before people can answer you question.

OP, there are many threads on this topic and, at a minumum, you need to provide your travel frequency (4 nights/week, 2 nights per month?), location (all big cities or small towns and villages, US or international), preferences, etc.

I suggest you not try to speak for the entire forum population. My two choices are SPG and Marriott, Hilton maybe third.

The MileBuzz forum (where this question is also posted) might be the best place to get a wider response.

My trip will be mostly rural area outside of big city. It will be 2 nights per trip and twice a month. I can choose any of Sheraton, Hilton or Marriott hotel as long as there is one in the area.

As you may have guessed by now, your question is impossible to answer without a lot more information with regard to the places where you will be staying, your objectives in terms of accruing hotel or airline points, your preferences in terms of luxury vs. basic needs, etc. Please try to focus your question more given the responses you've already received across different threads you've opened (a FlyerTalk no-no) and perhaps we can be of more assistance. Good luck.

Sheraton is part of Starwood - Westin, 4 pts, Luxury Collection, St Regis. I don't think that will work well for you. Not enough properties, especially in rural areas.
Hilton probably has the most properties convenient for your travel - Hilton, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, and Hilton Garden Inn, especially the last two in rural areas.
