Default Agree with you, New Smyrna is better, but hard sand.

We might be in the minority, but just don't like the high rises and the tourist traps at Daytona (or Clearwater).

Our favorite West Coast beaches are Anna Maria island (not sure I wanted to let everyone know about that one) and Siesta Key. A little further, but worth it. We also like Venice Beach a lot.
Agree with New Smyrna. Hard sand, but small town atmosphere.
