Ah, see I stick to FF.net because the quality is vastly better. I've seen very, very few fics on DA that don't make me want to stab my eyes out with a rusty spork and hand out harsh CC like they did hand sanitizer during the swine flu epidemic.

Quality of fics by popular sites (from highest to lowest):

LJ > Fandom-Specific Sites, Modded for Fic Quality > Fandom-Specific Sites, Not Modded for Fic Quality > Personal Sites > AFF > FF.net > Facebook/Myspace > DA.

And, truly FF.net doesn't fall quite that low most of the time. You just have to have a fandom that's not completely over run. (HP, Naruto, LotR got killed. Others are in the process.)

But if you belong to a unique fandom FF.net will be the best place for you. It's the biggest site for fics, it's easy to use, and while most reviews are crap like 'update!' you get a gem of real information every once and a while. Plus, the site is streamlined and not a total pita graphically. And the changes they've made in the past two years - forums, icons, inboxes to track PMs, no cap on the number of stories you can fav - have helped their cause.
