I think most people will agree that Hyatt has the most valuable ecosystem for point-earning and redemptions. It's not uncommon to find a Hyatt redemption for 2.0¢ per point, even at the cheaper properties, while Bonvoy might average 0.8¢ per point. Interestingly, the best general way to earn Hyatt points imo is actually with a Chase Sapphire, which has solid earn rates on travel and dining and allows you to transfer those points to your World of Hyatt account.
If anybody has found a better system for hotel stays, I'm all ears.. but I think that's currently the best option.
