I prefer Ancestry because I've been able to find more family there than anywhere and I like the way it works. I still have a few brick walls, but I'm making headway. I've also had good customer service from Ancestry a couple of times when I needed it. To be fair, I haven't played with My Heritage very much.

As for DNA, I got that through Ancestry and had results that were consistent with the facts I knew and a couple of surprises besides.
