I agree, (other than I prefer the Cabana section at CSR which are all standard rooms, so I would never book a preferred room).

CSR and POFQ are my two favorite mods. I go to WDW several times a year and usually stay in a moderate so have stayed in all four in the last couple of years. I'd rank them" #1. CSR #2 POFQ (but a close tie with CSR), #3. PORS, and #4. CBR.
CSR has the biggest hot tub on property and the longest pool slide among the moderates. Plus I love how the pool bar is right there by the pool where you can easily refill your mugs and order food without having to go to the food court. The arcade and kids playground is right there too. Depending on the ages of the OP kids, that could also be a determining factor for me. CSR has by far the best kids playground. They also roast marshmallows and show movies right there at the pool. CSR also by far has the most comfortable beds (and yes I have stayed at POFQ twice since the refurb. CSR beds are still alot more comfortable--most comfortable on property next to Swan/Dolphin).
