I have to say, I don't agree fully with the money hungry, but it is better at allowing individuals to find you and spend money on you. It is also know well for allowing a connection between it's self and youtube, producing you double the broadcasting.
I've only recently heard of hitbox, so I can't comment,
but Youtube streaming is good for tailoring to the people you have and making it easy for them to find you and watch instead of having people change cites. It's the law of the lazy, the easier it is to do, the easier it is not to do.
I prefer twitch because you can easily get a stream striked down on YouTube and I've never used Hitbox before
If you have the following then either Twitch or Youtube (though I'm on the Twitch side)
Hitbox to me is still relatively new, I go on the site now and then and only see a handful of streamers barely hit the 100viewer mark, so I think its a good platform if you're a new streamer looking to get noticed since I don't think you'll be fighting to be on the top of the list for a certain game.

I usually do youtube because a) I am lazy at times and don't want to upload a stream to my youtube, this does it automatically and b) my viewers can see that I am streaming, so they don't have to switch sites. I like twitch because of Twitch alerts, and Hitbox because of the live dashboard.
In the past i used to stream alot trough Twitch but since i also wanted to upload the content to youtube i switched to youtube gaming once it was available. Streaming directly from your channel when your only doing live streams then it is ideal.
Since i don't have the proper tools for making edits and did live streaming for the past 3 years this is what suited me best

If your already a youtuber I believe it's best to stream on your channel to keep everything in the same place and you don't have fans in one place but not in the other. However if your fairly big use twitch for gaming but only if your ready to split your fans and content.
As far as the technology backing it, youtube is far superior than both of the competitors listed on here. They just need to further develop the peripherals to allow for better community growth and interaction, as well as better monetizing, like twitch does with subscribing.
Twitch does all that stuff better than youtube, but is one of the most unstable and buggiest live streaming platforms out there. The only reason Twitch is still so big is because it's been around for so long and was one of the first to jump in on the live streaming/gaming market back when it was justin.tv
If Twitch.tv came out today, as a new platform, with all the problems it experiences on a daily basis, people would laugh it down so hard and move on in a week.

Well that's something I haven't heard of, but thank you for telling us about restream. Finally I don't have to pick.
