Default Satellite radio that meets these needs

Another Satellite radio thread with specific needs. I've read guides, reviews, and threads on XM and Sirius. It seems there are trade offs to both.

my desires:
- lots of music selection (both win)
- good reception (both?)
- high fidelity sound (XM)
- live PLAY BY PLAY for *ALL NBA* games (Sirius)
- no commercials (Sirius)
- compact hardware with lots of choices, would like one that's portable (XM)
- lots of future potential (both)
- premium content at no additional fee (Sirius)
- free internet listening to subscribers (Sirius)
- local local weather/traffic... aka San Jose, CA; does the "San Francisco" also cover south bay? (???)
- US and world news like CNN (both)

I read that XM is raising their fees to $12.95 so they'll both be the same price.
