Well, they are the most well known but they have problems. Hugo has been criticised for being a popularity contests so popular but not so good authors gets nominated (like all the Robert Sawyer books that I then have to read...). And Nebula seems to have a problem with nominations based on that member of SFWA think people deserve the price and not on the actual book. But in recent years the Nebula nominations have been OK.
For new and maye a bit different books I think the Clarke Award and The World Fantasy Award (or whatever the name is) are better. The Clarke Award is a juryed award like the Nebula.
