I think the main reason to join either of those organizations is to have access to a couple of the good things they do, such as the Grievence Committee (help with bad contracts and publishers) and the Emergency Medical Fund (or in HWA's case, the Emergency Loan Program). Those are good things for my dues to support. As for crediibility within the genre: they don't matter much except to show you've written at a certain level for a period of time.
