Normally my family stays in deluxe resorts, but we have stayed at All Star Sports, All Star Movies, Pop and AOA during several of the Disney races. Our least favorite was Pop because it was extremely crowded and chaotic! We also found the lines for the buses at the end of the day to be crazy long for Pop and AOA. We really liked AOA (but we were in a suite there).
We had no complaints about staying at either All Star resort and we slightly preferred Movies over Sports. We found the bus service to be very efficient and we didn't share buses between resorts. We did have a preferred room at Movies and it was a very short walk to everything.
I would also watch for discounts for the Swan/Dolphin. They may end up offering something that would make it comparable to the rates you are seeing for a value. I think it is later in the fall when they usually release any holiday promotions. We have stayed there during December before to avoid the crazy rates for a deluxe at Epcot.
