To get better answers, why don't you share with us the routes you frequently fly or the airlines you'd consider flying.

Actually, I just purchased Priority Pass, so I have a lot to choose from. I just want to know which are the nicest, cleanest, have the best food, etc. I fly pretty much everywhere in the US. Main airports would be PHL, CLT, DCA, PIT, MPL, MIA, DFW, DTW, SAN, LAX, JFK. Thanks.

I just signed up for Delta CRC. Since I haven't used any airline club before, I didn't know what to expect. I first used the CRC in SLC and what I enjoyed the most about the lounge was the toilets. Yes they had a fully stocked bar and comfortable seats and work areas, but being able to place my bear behind on what appeared to be a clean toilet seat was very refreshing. On the down side, all they had for snacks were the Delta ginger cookies and corn nuts.

Once you get overseas (or in the local lounge for a foreign carrier) you'll start to see real food offerings.

It's also going to depend on which airport you are in. The LH lounges in FRA are great, as are the OS lounges in VIE. Both of these are hub airports for these airlines.
Ultimately, for me, these lounges are great way to sit in a quite environment. In the U.S., however, they don't have a lot of food and often don't allow you to bring food in from other places in the airport.

Outside of that, I tend to prefer the Continental clubs. Red Carpet Club kinda sucks. Sorry UA.
