So with all of that said, besides cost, what factors would lead or have led you to pick one organization over the other?

The cost difference isn't just large in terms of the actual cryopreservation fee. Alcor charges member $800 per year, while CI charges $120. That made the difference for me; I'm currently filling out the paperwork for CI.
