Airmiles is very easy to redeem. But you pay more because I think they not only charge you the fuel surcharges etc that are common among all programs but they also charge you the GST on the price of the ticket.
I have Avion. Very easy to use since you can book on any airline. They do have some restrictions though and the main one to keep in mind is you need 2 weeks advance notice to book. They do have some restrictions on the prices of tickets as well, but if you book in advance, not spur of the moment, you won't be affected. I have never had to pay more when using Avion, just the standard fuel surcharges etc which you simply can not get around.
Every year I am able to book my whole family on a vacation somewhere in the Carib on my Avion points.
