So mummies, what is the best decision if there are no complications? What is your experience? Please share

I gave birth in Portland and I recommend it to everyone, it is worth the price! It's very nice and clean hospital with helpful staff. The facilities are very good – private rooms with their own bathrooms cleaned regularly –  and helpful nursing assistance on call.
The food brought on room service is also really nice, and you need to bring very little kit with you - they provide clothes for the babies while in the hospital and nappies and toiletries for the baby and you

I think NHS is much safer. There are doctors and experienced midwives who will help if anything goes wrong. NHS hospitals have much more resources

Definitely NHS. Who of us can say she's 100% healthy and there won't be any surprises while delivering? I'm not sure such superwomen exist in our ecology... In NHS hospitals you can be sure you and your baby will be cared for if anything unpredictable happens, in birth centres I'm not so sure...
