The Boardwalk is pretty sweet. Everything is right there. You can walk to get food, beer, liqour, other necessesities.

The staff is pretty good too. They usually have a lot going on on the beach as well, probably more than anywhere else. As for gulfside, it's worth it when you wake up at 1pm, to look out and see the waves hitting the shore, and the beer already spilling.

I did the Summit on my last trip, due to getting old (25) and needing my space, but to relive those early spring break days would be great. My memory isn't that good when it comes to what happened on the trips.
