I want to buy a great RCI weeks trader that trades with II also. I want to find the highest TPU per dollar of maintenance fee, but I want to keep the purchase price down (free would be great lol) to $2,000 or below.

I was told that there is a TPU calculator on the RCI website where I could plug in the different resorts that I might want to know about in order to get each of their TPUs. I can't find it. Anybody know where I can find this calculator?

There is a calculator on the site, but unfortunately you have to have an RCI account to get to it.

I like Marriott timeshares because I get a 22 day preference period in Interval of other Marriotts. That means that when a Marriott shows up in inventory the Marriott owners get first "crack" at it. For high demand properties like Hawaii, that means that non-Marriott owners have a slightly-better-than-a-snowball's" chance of the high-demand inventory laying around for 3 weeks.

There are a few Marriotts that exchange in both RCI and Interval. One that comes to mind is Desert Springs I (DSV1) in Palm Desert, Ca. DSV1 does not have a ROFR clause.
