Spotify is best for their huge collection and TIDAL is better for Hi-Rez (16/44). We have been having a problems here with TIDAL and it turned out to be very sensitive to DNS. Set up a good caching DNS server and TIDAL works much better. Also Qobuz is coming to the US and and they higher then

The main thing that I like about deezer, apart from the fact that it works well with LMS, is that the download speeds are very good; at least to me. There is a noticeable difference in downloading the local copy of an album to my phone, for example. Really much faster. I don't know why.

Another vote for Spotify - I use it via LMS and the Spotty plug-in running on a Raspberry Pi. I like it because of their selection of music. I listen mostly to Scandinavian music, and there's no other service I've found with the same catalog. (Not surprising, since they're based in Sweden.)
