The upgrade from 1-Park to Park Hopper is roughly the same cost, give or take a few dollars, as Max Pass, depending on how may days your ticket is for. If you had to choose one or the other, which would it be?
I read some advice a while ago that seemed to say that getting Park Hopper was definitely something you wanted to do, but Max Pass, while nice, was more of a luxury. That, of course, was just that person's point of view, but I see it just the opposite -- at least for the way we approach the parks. Max Pass is a tool I can use to get more out of the vacation than I can by trekking back and forth to the Fast Pass kiosks (or by limiting our use of Fast Passes). Park Hoppers, at least for us, are nice, but we tend to stay in one park for most of the day anyway, and some days never hop parks. So without Park Hopper, we might need to be a little more careful about how we organize our days, but over the course of a week, we're going to do pretty much going to do and see all the same stuff anyway.
Obviously, there's no right answer (and I think most of us are just going to get both anyway), and it's going to depend on things like your style (driven vs laid back), how long you're there, what kinds of rides you prefer, and maybe even the time of year you're there.
