Excellent insight. It seems that YCombinator is really in a league unto itself. For incubators/accelerators, the choice is really two buckets: YCombinator and all the mojo it gives you on the one hand, and all the other incubators on the other, which offer relatively similar value propositions to each other. It's interesting how this dynamic has worked out -- much like in most industries, the distance between the top player and maybe #2 and the rest of the field is significant.
