Apple Music. Subscriber since 2015.
Lossless audio and a unique and useful dedicated iPhone app for Classical Music (where, among other features, you can access the booklets of the albums, like on Qobuz).
Easy to use on iPhone, MacBook and HomePods.
Tidal and Spotify are certainly great too. But the advantages of Apple Music listed above just work for me.
And I’m a fairly heavy listener (mainly Classical Music, Jazz, Fado): for example my total listening time is 77110 minutes in 2015 and 79959 minutes in 2014.

Tidal or Spotify?
Please share your preference. I listen to music most of the times at home. I f love to hear your thoughts.
YouTube has the widest variety of music available anywhere!
Whether you’re looking for obscure jazz, old reggae records, 1980s and 1990s electronic music or brand new releases from current artists, you will find absolutely everything!
It depends on your equipment...
If you have a Hi-Fi or high resolution reproduction system, Tydal or Qobuz. If you are streaming using ordinary crap like Sonos, etc., Spotify or YouTube Music is more than enough.
Tidal
Because that’s what my Naim streamer could use when I bought it and at the time I think it was the highest resolution streaming service.

Spotify.
I’ve had it the longest and it integrates well with my whole house av. While there may be something else, I find Spotify easy, inexpensive and sufficient so have not deviated from it.
I use Tidal for high resolution.
Also stream Sirius XM, which is not quite as hi-res.
