I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that you'd choose the UA option, every time.
Nope, I wouldn't choose either option. The UA option sucks because they suck. Their service is not worth those points.

Instead I would be spending 100k for a J or 120K for a F ticket and <$150 CAD to fly on someone else.
