My opinion is very opposite of yours. I feel AKC is the only way to go for a guaranteed pure breed. Those other registries don't screen well enough to be assured they aren't mixed breeds. Mixed breeds can be fine dogs, but staying in the true standard such as what AKC registry does is best IMO. I personally think way to many people breed non-AKC Yorkie's which can lead to way too many people purchasing possible mixes without knowing it. I'm glad AKC has such strick rules to keep the standard true. I breed AKC myself and wouldn't have it any other way. JMO.
