I can tell you where NOT to go, ultimate-guitar. They actually have some decent tabs over there but the forum seems to be populated by extremely immature individuals. I tried posting there when HC was experiencing blackout. I believe it's the worst guitar forum on the web.
I've been posting over at TGP for years. Many people at HC have characterized TGP as cork sniffers. Yes, they certainly do have that element over there but it's really a mix of players. There are more pros and semi-pros posting over there than any forum I've ever visited. There is a lot of depth and diversity in that pool of talent. Also, they have tons of people who market their products over there, similar to here but more of them.
They don't tolerate HC type of trolling over at TGP. Also, you're expected to stay on topic or your thread will be moved. Obvious copycat, spoof or nonsense threads are not allowed. The style of moderation is much more agressive than here. When things get argumentative and personal, threads get locked, people get warned and some violators get banned. They expect you to keep all disagreements professional. But, plenty of threads get very heated and flaming breaks out from time to time.
I've always tried to be polite on TGP and have never had any trouble with the mods. I've found it to be one of the best resouces for detailed gear information around. And, I like the fact that it has a different dynamic than HC.
I sure hope HC comes back. This place has a unique dynamic that is humorous and entertaining in a way that TGP will never be.
I don't give a d.a.m.n about hypes, fanclubs or tonal religions. All I care about is what works for me.
