I have stayed at all three resorts. I loved each of them!
If money is a concern or even if it would cross your mind (Like "gosh, I wish I had that 800 dollars to do x y and z with) I would stay with Pop. Pop is so much fun. I must confess that when my daughter and I stayed there last year I was a bit apprehensive. But it was lovely, the service was great, the rooms were super clean, the food court had a wide variety of choices, even the gift store was super. It was December when we went so we did not use the pools. I loved it and she thought it was magical. In my opinion it is nothing like Motel 6 (no vibrating beds...but they keep the light on for ya!
)
Poly is deluxe, on the monorail and much bigger rooms. You can't beat the location and that is a huge consideration.
AKL holds a special spot in my heart. I love the animals and the atmosphere so much. It is such an escape to stay there. I am not sure about the construction, etc. so make sure about that. One thing, the rooms are much smaller than the Poly, and the location is a bit off the beaten track. (but easy bus service).
I guess it comes down to money and location. How you feel about those subjects will dictate where you go. I must say that you will love each for different reasons.

We decided on the Poly since AKL has some construction going on there. We might even extend our stay a day or two! Looks like we're going to Disney Poly style
! Maybe next year we go AKL style! 
! It's amazing how I get excited each time we go. I think I'm worse than the kids! Thanks for all your help
