[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Better to be on travel team playing more at lower/mid level NVTBL than upper level and maybe riding pine?[/quote]

If we are talking about middle school travel or NVTBL teams, this depends on whether DS is going to a be a pitcher or a position player in the long run.

If DS is already approaching 6 foot tall and pitches, he needs to see the best hitters possible, whether high level NVTBL or travel team.  Also the better teams are not going to burn out your son's arm in search of meaningless trophies (Daddyball has this issue).

If DS is going to be a position player in HS, then more playing time is better.  DS needs to learn defense, baserunning, etc., and you don't learn that on the bench. Eventually he will grow into his playing body but that usually takes longer for position players (unless you are Juan Soto, and if you are Juan Soto as a 13U player you will not be riding pine).  If DS starts hitting with a 85+ exit velocity, you can shift him to a better team later.
