If you watch hours a night and find content on Netflix (or some other all you can eat streaming service) that meets your requirements, that's going to win hands down against an a la carte service every time. Personally, my viewing is more on the order of 5 or 6 hours a week so I tend to gravitate towards services that let me buy exactly what I want even if at a premium. I dropped Netflix streaming when they changed the pricing (I still have the 2 DVD per month plan) and occasionally am tempted to resubscribe but never quite get around to it.
