I typically advise people to “Buy Where You Want to Stay”. If you really love a particular resort, then buy into it. There are some people who have a particular fondness for a resort and really want to stay at that particular resort, and they would be unhappy if they were not able to book there. These folks should buy where they want to stay, provided that they can reliably plan and book to take advantage of the 11-month home resort booking advantage.
If you don’t have a particular fondness for a certain resort, or if you’re not a planner and anticipate always booking at the 7-month window (or less), then look for a resort where you wouldn't mind staying that would be a better deal financially.
Personally, I much prefer AKV over SSR, as the subdued theme of SSR lacks some Disney "magic" to me. Others love SSR and think AKV is too "dark" or has a feeling of remoteness.
