It all depends on what you want out of a membership. We have not found any membership to be a good dollar value if we are simply expecting discounts on RV parks and campgrounds (with the exception of the National Parks senior pass). We are members of Escapees because they provide our legal domicile and mail forwarding services (there are other ways to get these services, too). It's an added advantage when we happen to stay at Escapees parks across the country. The only value we've found in a Good Sam's membership is the Pilot/Flying J RV Plus fuel card (works like a charge card with a fuel discount for diesel at the truck pumps). We are members of FMCA for their medical repatriation and emergency assistance insurance. A plus for that membership for us is that their only campground in the country is ten minutes from two of our grandkids. We have recently let our Passport America membership expire as we weren't getting our money's worth out of it (too many restrictions). We don't stay at KOA often enough to make that worthwhile, either. The "membership" we use the most is the US military. Being retired Army, we stay at military FamCamps a lot. Save your money and do the rest of your planning. As suggested above, hit the road for a while and then figure out what you need.
