They all kinda suck in one way or another. Linus especially, in multiple ways.
This as I cannot explain it any better.
I do not favor no one really, they each have their pros and cons. Also it depends what I want to watch sometimes, either DIY builds or interesting explanations or ripdowns of something.
Or in some cases watching bricks get thrown into washers "I think wolley would get this one".
So in all, it just varies what the video is about, not by who.
Probably TTL for some stuff due to his objectivity and attention to detail, and HarwareCanucks, as the videos they make are short and great to get an overall idea of a product.
I like Linus for some reason (he's definitely more charismatic than most others), but I often get annoyed as he explains how you'll need eight DIMM slots and how triple SLI is super awesome and you should waste your money for this stuff on NCIX...

Don't forget when he put a 660ti against a 7950 in Battlefield 3 to show how much better it is.

Though these guys are entertaining once in a while.
I just watched their unboxing of MS BOB.
That was beautiful.

i5 4670k @ 4.9GHz - Stock Heatsink - The rest is melted silicon but I think I have a graphics card in there somewhere It surprises me how many people on this forum can't read benchmarks.
I like the newegg videos but i dont mind linus but i hate his fanbase.
The newegg videos conflict me. Usually they are fine, but sometimes they state something glaringly wrong/weird or do something stupid.
Eg: In the first version of the build a PC videos (there are 3 or 4 now I believe), he recommended spreading the thermal paste all around the CPU, when he clamped down the heatsink, you could see it squeezing out the sides.
He changed his mind in the second series of videos, but that was just an example.
There was also the time he pushed too hard on the RAM/ATX power on an ASRock mobo (which are shorter lengthwise than a standard ATX mobo) and put so much torque on it that it broke.
Hate Linus, can't stand him. Literally embodies the looks of "pasty white nerd" to me. I personally don't watch videos, but I like watching the HardwareCanucks case reviews. Top quality reviews and production quality.
Logan from TS has recently caught my attention, Dan and Dave from TTS like Logan in that fact that they do weekly tech news. Elric is funny, TTL goes into a lot of detail and unlike linus he doesn't blurp out whatever hes told to say. as for Linus his channel lost my attention once he started getting all the new camera equipment and started doing boring stuff like touchscreens, windows 8 laptops, camera stuff, etc, etc.
Closest thing to a "technology youtuber" I have is vwestlife, and he mostly just covers old stuff. For example his most recent video at the moment is a look at an Original IBM PC and some accompanying software.
I like TTL if I REALLY want to know about something (for example my Switch 810, I watched that entire video and that's how I chose it) and Linus. I think he is a bit of a salesman but not as much as the Newegg guys. I kind of like Motherboards.org, Elric sometimes got on my nerves but I thought he was ok.
Linus every now and then, his case unboxings are decent. But logan from tek syndicate is by far the best, just discovered him about a month ago. I remember watching his old videos like 6 years ago when he worked for tigerdirect. Those were the times, new facial hair is scary.
I personally watch Linus the most of all so Linus is my favorite.

Thinking about coming a mod to simply not moderate.
Agreed, Logan fans here!
Isn't that 99% of people that do these types of videos?
