In general today Marriott is only selling points not weeks at a resort. The points allow for you to book at Marriot Vacation Club locations along with many other types of vacations such as cruises and events.
Personally I like the deeded weeks I purchased before they switched to points. It mostly guarantees I can get my weeks in Aruba. If I can't use them I can easily (so far) rent them out here on Red Week.
If you don't want to make the timeshare investment I think renting through Red Week is a great option. You can get some great deals and spend a week in great places. You could spend 10 weeks or more for a week for the price of the timeshare.
