You shouldn't. The s4 is nice but the ONE, Moto X and probably the LGG2 are better devices.

Why should we tell you anything? Go to your local store play with all the phones and purchase the one YOU like better

Don't listen to this guy he's obviously biased. They're all great devices except that the LGG2 hasn't been tested that much yet so I can't say abything about that. Really depends on what you're looking for. Camera? S4. Low light? HTC. Great software? Moto X. Price? Moto X. There's so many more factors here like, removable battery, SD card, sound, brightness etc. But I'll let you do the research on those

I went to 3 different sprint stores. Ironically, they had various recommendations on which you is best. SD card and battery I don't care. I'm looking for minimal bloatware, a great camera and build, a
nd great radios. I have a galaxy nexus and the radio is terrible.

I'm a bit biased, but if you care to look at my post history you will see I am fairly objective overall. It's an opinion thread. The op asked for advice and he doesn't want to hear everyone sidestep the question. I've used the s4 and one extensively and to me the one is a better device. The op also later mentioned he wants minimal bloat and speedy software which means he has pretty much narrowed it down to the moto x or one. The G2 is going to have really nice hardware but the software looks like a touchwiz knockoff.

You weren't saying an opinion you were stating it as a fact that the other are better phones. That's not helping him at all.

One has a very nice super LCD screen (I got told it was IPS variant though which is also high end), boomsound speakers which destroy the tiny speaker on the back of the S4, and the one runs a lot faster than the S4 (this is because of software on each phone, not the hardware). The one unfortunately has potential issues like for the speaker to blow or begin sounding tacky, the build quality on the edges to have gaps between metal and plastic+sharp edges, the screen to have diagonal lines across it from the digitizer, and apparently some people have had problems with the camera not taking photos properly where everything appears purple or something.
The S4 has a larger battery which is removable, along with an SD card slot. It's screen is 0.3 inches larger but lower PPI. The screen is not as high quality (still decent though), it has a single small speaker on the back which is no match for boomsound, and despite having a slightly faster CPU and DDR3 RAM it actually runs slower/laggy compared to the One due to it samsung OS variant.
Basically the HTC One's genuine features that are probably most important on a smartphone (screen, performance, audio) far outweigh the S4. The only problem is the One has a few potential build quality issues you may encounter whereas the S4 doesn't have as much risk. (Although poorer performance/much less genuine features, no real risk of problems with it that would require a repair).
HTC One is the best all-around device. That's my opinion. An opinion shared by most
