What are member and doctor opinions about Pacificare HMO vs. Blue Cross HMO?

I'm trying to decide whether to enroll in Pacificare HMO or Blue Cross HMO. I'm wondering if anyone has opinions or preferences based on experience as a member. I'm also wondering if anyone knows whether physicians or medical groups prefer one HMO over the other.

I've had both and preferred Blue Cross over Pacificare. The benefits were better. However, I preferred Pacificare over Kaiser!
