Project Whore?

So I've been thinking about about trying out a new Pokersite, and claiming their bonus in the process.
Now I've been a loyal PokerStars player, and only play at Partypoker occasionally to claim their reload bonuses.
As an aspiring poker pro, I owe it to myself to explore around, and also to claim the big bonuses that are out there.
I've been told to stay away from small sites because they suck... so after much research I've narrowed it down to two sites: FullTilt Poker and UltimateBet.

Full Tilt Poker is the 5th-8th most popular online poker site for ring games.
FullTilt has:
100% up to $600 deposit bonus
Full Tilt Poker bonus code is NOT required
16.67 points are needed for each $1 in bonus money (each point accumulated is worth $0.06).
Bonus released in increments of 10% or $20.00, whichever is less.
Bonus expires after 120 days
Percentage of tournament rake refunded when clearing the bonus: 42%
The max tables you can play at Full Tilt Poker is 4*:
6max NL grade: D+

Ultimate Bet is the 5th-7th most popular online poker site for ring games.
UltimateBet has
100% up to $650 max deposit bonus
Use Ultimate Bet deposit bonus code UBWHORE
Must earn 10 Ultimate Points for each $1 in bonus money
Bonus released as points are accumulated.
Bonuses are stackable and never expire.
Percentage of tournament rake refunded when clearing the bonus: 20%
The max tables you can play at Ultimate Bet is 3*:
6mx nL Grade: C+

It seems that UB is a better option if I want to play pure cash games to clear the bonus, and FT is a better option if I want to do a mix between SNG and cash games. It's hard to decide which one I want to do first... I am leaning towards FT because of their returns on SNGs and incremental Bonus Releases. Either way, I will sign up for the next site as soon as I finish claiming the bonus in one...
This will be my next project: Project WHORE: goal, to claim 600 + 650 in bonuses at UB and FT.
I will update in a few days with details.
