Well?

Personally, I'd have to go with Midway after all the bad experiences at O'Hare.

Midway by far!  Both have bad TSA, so it's a tie there.  But Midway is way easier for me to get to, much quicker access to the Loop, and is small and easy to navigate.

I've only been to O'Hare, but I prefer to stick to Milwaukee.

There's no regular commercial service but when I've been able to I prefer the DuPage Airport. The main runway is longer than Midway's, with 24/7 FAA Tower and Customs. For corporate and private aviation it's the best option. When the Ryder Cup was in Chicagoland, DuPage was the preferred choice for most of the golfers.

O'Hare, by default. I flew United a few years ago and that was the layover. It was a 2.5 hour layover, so I'm glad there were enough stores and whatnot to keep busy (it's always fun to look around in a Brookstone).

I've been stuck in both during storm season so I'd go with the FedEx box if they stop giving me hotel accommodations.

Midway is scary to land at and take off from, so O'Hare by default (though I've never even been to O'Hare).

Speaking of airports, below is my favorite airport. It has no crowds, and no Homeland Security goons, and parking is free.
