Well, of course it is one organisation's interpretation of the best work, just like every other award. And the statement that it is the leading award is just a statement of fact - the Hugo will be the first one on the cover of the book if it wins. (And also a statement of what is at stake if the award is messed up.)
I decided to put Wakulla Springs first in the novella category, simply because it was the one I liked most. I also found it a bit marginal as to whether it could be considered genre, but I can only vote for what I'm given. I can't remember what order I put the rest in. I didn't hate any of them.
