Contemplating Double Status which other program should I choose

Hi there (long time traveler)

I started flying full-time on AA (and actually love it) last September, and have clocked in over 170K since. I am contemplating one of the following:

1. Aim for million miles by end of 2011 and stay all AA
2. Pick another program to earn status

If I decide #2 ... and understanding the AAdvantage is the one of the better programs out there .... and having a preference to getting status equivlancy asap .... which airline program should I choose?

Some specifics ...

1. home base out of IND or CMI if in a pinch
2. Fly heavily to West Coast
3. Always use the airlines club.
4. Have over 500K in lifetime miles on CO ...

Thoughts?

TIA,

+-ADT
