what reasons would those be? i nominate MBA for best value... more content than MBike and MBiking, and better binding for cheap 
but of course, its quality, not quantity, and imo MBiking is NOT worth the 7.99 CDN when MBA is only 4.99 CDN.

It's been a few years since I even looked at the other two, but I used to subscribe to all 3 (and a couple more actually). I remember that some have better articles, some had better pictures, some had better selection of bikes being reviewed, some had real glossy pages, some were cheaper in price, the list goes on.... Bottom line is just read the one you like best. As I said earlier, I currently get MBA & Bicycling.
Maybe check-out all the different mags. online 1st to help you decide....

Decline
Mbuk
Dirt (I am on and off with this. Great mag for people who love dirt and 2 wheels. It isn't mtb specific so some months get boring)
Bike
Nothing else. I don't like dirt rag.

Dirt Rag. Their reviews are the best out there simply because they're based on real world conditions over the long term.

Still kicking.
Another vote for Decline, I wish Flow was still around and like the first year of it.
