Streaming Services - do they do everything?

I’ve been having some brief conversations with a friend at a cursory level, which leave me with the following questions pertaining to which service offers the best fit for me.

1. which service offers the highest resolution for $10/month?
2. which service has the most intuitive interface
3. which service can be accessed via a computer interface - makes downloading into my library easier
4. which service can you download music to play offline
- is there a limit of the number of offline songs
- is the limit a "total number of tracks" or "total" per period of time (quarterly, annually?)
- can the songs be stored on or moved to a NAS drive
5. which streaming service crashes the least

Thanks in advance

I use Spotify, which I think meets most of your needs and costs $9.99 per month. 
I tried Tidal, but was turned off by the limited classical selection. I think it cost about $15/month. The resolution is higher than Spotify, but I really didn't notice a really big difference ( though some may disagree).

Great post Ghosthouse!
I might give Tidal another shot this winter when I get my main system put together. Maybe they have improved their classical section.

You owe it to yourself to go up the Schiit line.
The Yggy offer even more detail than the Gungy. I don’t know how they do it, but they do. The closest I can find to the Yggy is an Ayre Codex.
