Marriott to ??
Hi: I am Marriott gold status and my future travels will put me in an area where either Hilton or Radisson properties are more convenient.
Given the choice which chain would be the better to request a status match and which offers better chances at up-grades, lounges etc?
Thank you in advance.

Between those two, it's no contest: if you liked Marriott, then Hilton is your most comparable program.
Check out the HH board...there are ways to pick up instant Gold (credit cards, perhaps other ways) and fast-track challenges seem relatively common.
