Why do you choose one vacation rental site over another?

With so many sites and the service fees and % increasing. How do you choose which site to list on? Wouldn't it be better to list on a site with no booking or service fees?

Why would you choose. All the good sites only charge per booking, and can sync each other's calendars. List on all of them and you pay for what they bring you. 

I have vacation rentals in Austin and my experience is completely opposite that of John's. 95% of my bookings come from Airbnb, and the occasional one from HomeAway. And every time I use the HomeAway site I cuss at it and wonder why they don't just copy Airbnb's because it's so much better and easier to use.  

I keep seeing ads for Tokeet which says they list your property on all the sites and help market. I'm curious if that'd be a worthwhile service.
