Depends on your budget and how much time you spend in the room/resort. Others have pointed out most of the differences - moderates have a little better landscaping, are a tad less "busy", have hot tubs at the main pool and in most cases 2 quiet pools (POFQ might only have one). The rooms are slightly larger at the moderates. The bus stops at the moderates are covered, they are not covered at the value resorts but the value resorts do have actual ques at the bus stops, the moderate and deluxe resorts are pretty much a free for all at the bus stops. Most (if not all) of the moderates have a TS restaurant, the values do not.
Pop Century only offers sky liner to get to Epcot and HS, no buses, AoA and the All Stars offer the bus to all parks. AoA is more expensive than the other value resorts but a lot of the buildings there have inside hallways, the other values and most of the moderates do not. Exception, the tower at CS which is kind of a deluxe lite and does have inside hallways.
I think of the value resorts as sort of a Hotel 6 with over the top theming as far as the rooms and buildings they are in are concerned. The moderates are sort of like a upper level motel with better theming.
