Detroit is probably the best for record shopping, and parties, and hanging with the local 313'ers. NYC would be my close second. San Francisco is a great music town, but good techno in clubs is thin on the ground.
New York City is the one place you can go and stay for a week and be sure that there will be 4 or 5 musical events you'd wait years to see anywhere else. Detroit, for seeing DJs, you need to plan your trip around events you know will be happening. Of course you could plan your roadtrip around Memorial Day and be totally sorted.
