Default Amazon Prime or Hulu Plus

Since Im a linux fanboi, my ps3 died, and I want a linux-friendly streaming service, which would be better? I like prime since it doesn't have commercials and is cheaper...but hulu seems to have a better selection.

Prime because then you also get free 2 day shipping. I like Hulu's selection but I already have netflix and prime so a third seems pointless.

I currently have all 3.

Netflix (as you know): best selection of already released Movies/Shows

Hulu Plus: best selection and only source of current shows. Last nights modern family is now available on Hulu Plus etc.

Prime: 2 day shipping included in the service is freaking amazing if you order from amazon a lot. Movie selection is decent, same with shows,but haven't browsed through it too much. it's also a good platform to rent very current movies before they hit Redbox, similar to iTunes.

Why do I have all 3? Netflix is the majority of what I watch, they have a wide selection and the GUI is pretty good. Hulu for all the current shows, my wife watches a bunch and it's easier to follow shows since it's essentially an on demand service. Prime just because i already had it for the shipping. Fairly redundant at first glance, but they cover each others bases nicely.
