Are you referring to the "best" experience of connecting flights? Are you just wondering what airport has the most destinations and time options under a single carrier? What is "hub structure"?
If you are curious about what city has an unusually large amount of airline operations given its relative size and economic importance, I would probably say Atlanta - but that is a business decision that largely works for Delta. I have my opinions on US airports, but it really has nothing to do with being a "hub" - I like to park, walk to my terminal, go through Pre-check security and board a non-stop flight in under 15 minutes from the moment I lock my car (and not have to wait more than 5 minutes for a taxi or black car at the destination).
In all honesty, I am probably "in and out" quickest at LAX, which is a hub for several airlines. Connecting there would probably be difficult.
I am voting for Atl my home Airport I use weekly. Yes it needs a lot of updating in the Concourse area. How it moves it's people and planes is efficiency at its best!

DFW. Shortest security lines I've seen at any airport, easy to access and navigate, traffic within and around the airport is great, baggage time is low...without a doubt, the best airport hub I've been to. Followed by ATL and PHX.
In terms of capacity, destinations served, and ease of use, ATL, IAH, and DFW are tops. Other airports have the destination count, but the experience is lacking (the NYC airports, ORD, MIA, LAX, etc.).
Ah, glad to see I'm along with the majority with Atlanta.
