Spider-Man 2 is one of my favorite movies, so I'm definitely biased in Raimi's favor. I think Raimi has a good combination of skill in directing both action and effects as well as actors.

Still would rather have PJ of course.

That's true, the Spider Man movies have been good. Sam Raimi can also do horror (similar background to PJ) so I could also see him bringing the darker aspects of the Hobbit out.
