Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that when doing a MR, your first priority is to get what you need, MILES, PQM, Segments, MQM, etc that is needed to qualify for a particular TIER. Upgrades will be more of a secondary nature, however, all things considered, yes, of course.

I assume you are talking W fares (or above) on UA. I do have a friend who will book a W on one leg if he is sure the UG will clear instantly to make sure he gets a little more sleep.
Typically though, no because it kills the price.
