Default Moving to different site, need advice

Hi, I started with 5c/10c on Ultimate Bet, recently moved up to 10c/25c, I'm thinking of moving to a different site since my bonuses are going to be cleared soon.

Main problem with UB, players generally better than at other sites, always the same regulars and microstakes semi pros playing on the few tables. I'm happy I'm able to move up but now I'd rather go to fishier ponds.

I'm from (Canada) Some of the options I'm thinking about are:
-Full Tilt (100% to 400)
-Poker Stars (Jack S**T)
-Empire Poker (100% to 200)

Obviously I want to find soft games. I also play late at night EST some times so I want to have games with fish all 24/7, but at the same time I'd prefer to get some bonus, and Stars doesn't give that.

Is Stars easy? Is it worth giving up bonus for? Where should I go?

This is for 10c / 25c NL

Thanks

If you're not US, go to Party. Enjoy it since we can't.

Go Full Tilt and GET RAKEBACK!!! Big bonus isn't that hard to clear. Games are a tad tougher than say Stars, BUT you can freaking DATAMINE. The ability to datamine gives you endless table selection abilities.

I agree with this 100%, and it's why I'm migrating to FTP from Stars as we speak.

27% rakeback + Datamining + Better software (IMO) = Teh NUTZZ!!1!!!

EDIT: And don't worry too much about the quality of play. 25NL is beatable wherever you play. And since we uNLers eventually want to move out of uNL, it wouldn't kill us to play the best competition out there to better prepare us for higher stakes games. At the same time, of course, only an idiot would turn down the extra EV that comes from having worse than average opponents.

Why not consider a softer site than FT that also has RB?

I'm thinking about Prima/Microgaming at the moment, and am pretty sure the games are softer than FT.
