You don't join religion for the perks, you join a religion so that you can worship god in a way that YOU feel is right. You should join the religion that best conforms with your world view and that you believe is right.
It's not up to us at all. It's totally up to you and your beliefs.
Edit: Editing the question after people have answered could be considered rude.
superwario,
I suggest a good knowledge of the monotheistic faiths will help you compare and choose.
I am a firmbeliever in my own faith because I accept all of it.
29 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. 30 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’[a] This is the first commandment.[b] 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’[c] There is no other commandment greater than these.”
And true religion is:
James 1:26
If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.
James 1:25-27 (in Context) James 1 (Whole Chapter)
James 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
True Christianity is not about do's and don't's. It's about worshiping the LORD and loving Him with all we have, are and ever hope to be. In loving Him, we will love others. In serving Him, we will serve others. This is done through the Holy Spirit at work in us, not by our own strength. Our own strength fails every time. We have to trust what Jesus did on the cross, He bridged the gap and made a way. Anything less is human effort.
In Christianity, salvation is ours to accept, freely given by the grace of God to the believers. Islam is a return to the Jewish concept of earning your salvation. That gives sinners no hope.

That is not exactly right.
Sinners have to stop their sinning and return to the right way,by heart,body and soul and they too have a chance.
Forgiveness is in the hands of the Almighty.
Even believers are not guaranteed entry into Heaven by just believing,it is out of the Almighty;s mercy that we are allowed into Heaven.
EDIT::::::::::::::
Sorry!
When I answered the OP, I had not realised it was in the Christianity thread, as the question was quite general.
I apologise for stating Islamic views here, but if anyone wishes I will delete this post.
Ok, you are asking this question in the christian board, so of course here Christianity is far better as decided by Christian members who post on the board. If you post this on the Islam board thier opinon would be different, if you ask iton the Jewish board, I am not sure who they would say.
