I can only judge B6 vs. Song, since that is the only pairing in which I have been on both airlines. B6 is nice, with the IFE and snacks, but I'm going to have to give it to Song. You have to pay for the food, but it is a nice variety and not too bad. The IFE is equal if not better than B6, and, best of all, they fly 757's. Nothing beats blasting off in a 757 while watching SportsCenter.
BTW I will always remember watching Kerry's concession speech in '04 from a Song 757 while on the tarmac at EWR.

You left out Canada's 2nd largest airline and most dominant low-cost air carrier, WestJet. It probably would have been more practical to put WestJet into the mix instead of Jetsgo in light of the fact that Jetsgo is bankrupt and non-existant now. Canada's other low cost carrier is CanJet.
I would personally have to put my vote in for WestJet even though it's not listed as an option. Not only do they offer low fares, and friendly service, they fly brand new 737's 600/700/800 - they are all being equipped PTV's with live satellite television, leather seats and you get complimentary snacks.
Although WJ modeled itself after Southwest, I believe it's going to a JetBlue model. With that said, JetBlue is my favourite US LCC and in the UK, I prefer EasyJet to Ryan Air even though Ryan Air is often cheaper.
