I tried FT, PartyPoker and WH and never really found myself at home until I tried Stars earlier this year and really liked it there. I crushed NL2 and NL5 and am now happily grinding away at NL10. Had the BR to move up to NL25 but decided to withdraw most of my Stars BR following Black Friday events leaving just enough funds to play comfortably at NL10, where I have a good player database info and comfortably ship profits each month.
I love Stars and although you have to keep an eye for the regs, there is a constant influx of profitable fish that offsets any bad beats you may get. I also like their VIP program and how you can reasonably easily turn accumulated FPPs into cash by playing the various satellites, placing and unregistering and then trading the T$ into cash
