If both leagues are options, and you don't have a unicorn in your house, ECNL is more practical because the goals of the customers (girls looking to go to college) are not in conflict with the league organizers (ECNL = a business). Whereas USSF GDA = unicorn hunting.
USSF goals are also in conflict with the member clubs which for all but a handful are in it for the money, just like ECNL clubs. USSF's introduction of PT player designation and suggesting to all member clubs that their FT rosters number around 14 and the balance made up of PT players makes good sense, but I doubt most clubs will follow it. In my neighborhood, the GDA rosters look like they will be 23-24 FT players per team -- being player #5-24 on those teams is gonna suck.
