Actually KL Plat is the answer - too bad you can't add to your current status.
For *A flights, ajinlondon is correct - go with LH.
Check out this thread which answered some of my own questions concerning the same subject earlier this year:

I chose LH.
Note that LH miles expire after 3 years unless you're elite of have LH credit card.
Are you flying in economy or business? What would you like to achieve? Alot of miles? Status etc?
As it stands we don't know what your goals are or what class of service you'll be in.
I wouldn't touch LH Miles & More if you're flying economy.
If your goal is status, you're a hair's breath from Star Alliance Gold with those flights credited to Air Canada.

Thanks for the advise. All the flights are economy as I am travelling for pleaseure rather than business. My goals are really to acheive the best number of miles to use as an award. It should hopefully equate to a European flight.
It is a shame they are not eith KL as Ihad notched up a good collection of points but will lose my Gold status in January!
As a UK based flyer why not put these towards BMI Dimond Club?
