I hear that joining the AUSA is considered en vogue.
Since I'm getting ready to retire, I'm the process of joining both the VFW and American Legion. Not sure which is the better veterans organization as both seem to have the pros (and fans).
The Transportation Corps Regimental Association and the National Defense Transportation Association round out my list.

While I belong to AUSA, to me the VFW (I am a life member) is strongest affiliation. When I was enlisted and deployed, my grandfather (WWII Vet) died...my Dad was having problems figuring out how to work the burial and honor guard; I sent one e-mail to the VFW's national page, and while I never heard anything back, they contacted my Dad and took care of everything for the Funeral.
As soon as I returned from (my first combat) deployment, I joined as a lifetime member (which as a Corporal was a big investment for me). I am a big fan of the VA.
The most FUN military organization I am involved in is the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association; all ages, all wars, all branches, and all bikes...just a bunch of combat vets getting together from across the nation to ride, do community service and help each other out.
