Off topic: Headed to Amsterdam

Going to be in Amsterdam in early December for 4 days, and I thought I'd take an opinion pole on preferences from experienced travelers. After reading a bit on the 'net there appear to be are three choices for the monger: RLD, privehuis, and escort. Each seems to have its advantages and disadvantages.
The red-light district is the stock and trade of the city with the obvious advantage of a wide variety and getting getting what you like. The disadvantage seems to be a rushed experience, little privacy and a fair amount of negotiating for "extras."
The privehuis, which I understand to be basically a brothel, offers a more intimate setting at a moderate price. A very limited selection of girls is the main set back. The sex club, a more expensive version of the privehuis seems to be a popular choice, although to me it just seems like a strip club champagne room where you pay too much for a drink.
Finally there's the escort option, which is the most expensive, but the girl is coming to your hotel room.
So, if you have been, which did go with? I am leaning towards the RLD, because I can shop for exactly what I want, but the other options are appealing as well.

You can hire an escort in parts of Canada or visit Tijuana if you want a brothel (I am assuming you are from CA since most of your reviews are from CA)

I have been several times either to smoke dope after a European business trip or in one case or pick up lots of dope before going on a month long bike ride across Europe.
I have had some good times at Société Anonyme (a brothel). My recommendation is mostly based on the notion (at the time) that they did not partake in taxi or champagne scams. You can just have a normally priced drink there and leave if you don't see something you like.
If I saw the right girl there it would be hard for me not to toss out 50 Euro and see what happens.
A brothel is probably your best bet, if the selection sucks, leave and go find a another.
That said... Enjoy it while you can, they are doing their best to get that stuff out of Amsterdam.
