Using Arnold Snyder's criteria I plugged different site's structures into the calculator there.
Higher numbers indicate a better structure, and theoretically a more "skill" based tournament (see Snyder's site for more detailed explanation):
Multi-Table Tournaments:
Stars (private/cc events):
(1500 chips, 15 min levels)
Patience Factor is 6.60.
Skill Level is 3.
Stars (regular):
(1500 chips, 15 min levels)
Patience Factor is 7.42.
Skill Level is 3.
Full Tilt:
(1500 chips, 10 min levels)
Patience Factor is 7.54.
Skill Level is 4.
UB:
(under $100, 1500 chips, 12 min levels)
Patience Factor is 9.84.
Skill Level is 4.
Bodog:
(under $100, 1500 chips, 12 min levels)

Skill Level is 6.
FullTilt Double Stack 90 player SNG (follows multi table tourney structure, but with more starting chips and a limited number of participants). Note that this is NOT the turbo-deepstack-knockout monstrosity of a chimera tournament that FT has concocted.
(3000 chips, 10 min levels)
Patience Factor is 10.99.
Skill Level is 5.
Compare to some live tournaments:
Borgata tournament last Sept ($500 +$60):
