The reason I do not think Alaska (AS) will work well for the OP is that they will get almost none of the benefits of the elite status since they will almost never be flying on AS metal. So the potential upgrades, checked baggage fee waiver and 500 mile minimums are not going to matter. CO is keeping the 500 mile minimums for elites, and it doesn't matter at all for someone who is flying mostly transcons.
