I usually play at Prima which I would say is TAGish, and over the past month I've played lots of FTP (bonus).
For months, I'd wonder why certain scenarios don't work for me, and I just realized why playing at FTP.
For example,
I have A[s] K[s] and raise preflop. Flop is A[h] 9[s] 8[s]. I lead, and get raised huge on the flop.
Standard answer is 3bet, right? It isn't at Prima because I promise you he has a set 85% of the time. Prima is TAGish and fairly straight forward at 1/2.
However, at FTP I've noticed that guys will raise you there with a lower FD, AQ, JT, etc. so a 3 bet push is the right play.
Anyone notice any other giant site differences.

Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

I doubt that you can 12 table on smaller sites. Concerning moving up or not it's just the choice we made. Here on BTP many posters are happy to play 200NL and don't move up, I don't know if it is a mentality of the site that creeps into the bones 
or something else.
Anyway that was just my opinion, it's up to you to decide.

if you want to play 8+table there is no other choice than Pstar
I am assuming that the 12 tablers are FR > 6 max (my brain would melt trying to 12 table six max even with a time bank).
If you play 6 max I think 4-8 tabling is enough for anyone - certainly networks like B2B, Prima, Ongame, Crypto and Tribeca will all have sufficient tables to pick 4 decent ones from at $200 6 max -so you just play 4 on each site across 2 monitors (using PTx2 or PT + PO2 for HUDS).
The reason is decent bonuses/RB of course - if you are clearing a $500 80%RB bonus at Tribeca and getting a bonus of 50% of your winnings at Prima (codepoker) playing much worse players than you find at Stars it's going to be well worth your while IMHO..
