The best answer should come from someone having experience with both. At a glance AMP seems better as you'll get better rates and a wide choice of platforms.
I'm a happy Ninjatrader/Ninjatrader Brokerage customer, though. On average very stable including high volatility periods. Execution and fills are great as far as I can tell, although I'm a piker trading small size of course. Never had any issues with disconnecting. Customer service is on average pretty good I'd say. Had some correspondence with them as late as this week and answers are usually pretty fast.
I was a bit fed up earlier with their antiquated reporting format (PDFs), but now they've launched their electronic portal offering analytics similar to Tradovate (which they bought), so that's a big improvement. I've also been a bit fed up by their software at times, basically considering it a software written for traders by programmers and being very slow to implement very basic stuff. As a result, I use a bit of custom indicators to fulfill my needs and requirements.
But I'm mostly settled now and am overall happy, so I'm not shopping around for anything else at the moment. I do have a lifetime license so I get fairly good rates as well.
If you want to use NT I think you'll be pretty happy with NT Brokerage, but keep in mind you need to lease/buy the software if you want to trade through it. At least if you want full functionality.
So, bottom end, AMP may be the cheaper and most versatile option.

I had been with Mirus as an IB for Dorman and using NT as trading software. Mirus gave me a nice deal on commission as well as eating the TT fee on static DOM. When Mirus wet the bed I opened an AMP account as for several days it was a shit show. NT took over as IB for Dorman and things went smoothly, I had to start paying the TT fee but not that big a deal on ES so I never funded the AMP account.
NT was starting to broker and clear about the time I was transitioning from a scalping methodology to a more of a day swing one and wanted to forward test using micros which I did not want to pay the TT fee on so I asked NT to suspend my static DOM and I would trade on Chart Trader. When I looked at my statements I saw that they were still charging me the TT fee. I told them to stop charging the fee and they said yes we deactivated the static DOM, we will look into what happened and it may take a week or so to investigate. A week my ass!, I immediately transferred my NT funds to AMP and have had no issues. BTW, I have a lifetime license with NT and still use their charting and. execution

How else will they express their extreme enthusiasm for AMP?
No you haven't. You also don't live in NY, and don't really trade.
Make me a liar and prove it, and I bet you cannot because URLs are not written in all-CAPS.
