[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this has been discussed a lot already, but bringing it up again. Is one better than the other? Which option are most people signing up for? [/quote]

DD has not done AS, but has done AA 2x. Here are some of the benefits we've observed:

Local 
Less Expensive
Has banquet and option to go to senior game if that's something your DD would like
One team per region (AS often has quite a few more than that in certain regions)
Fun uniforms
Goes through junior year and then has senior games (AS ends after sophomore year). Becomes invite only junior year and it looks as though participation helps a bit with being selected to team junior year. Less so with senior games where only a handful are invited.
Good college coach presence recruiting year (my understanding is coaches usually go to AA one day and AS the next)

All that said, I will acknowledge that for some regions the team strength is lower. Baltimore team is always stacked as many players choose to stay local after a long club season, Philly and Long Island teams are usually strong, NJ and DC are usually pretty good as well.
