In terms of attaining MM status, here is the order of "easiness":
AA - easiest; counts all miles; 1MM provides you with Gold (equiv of Silver Medallion)
DL and CO - tie; count MQM/EQM; 1MM provides you with Silver on both
UA - hardest; counts only UA Flight Miles; 1MM provides you with Premier (equiv of Silver Medallion); and UA easily has 4 layers - Premier, Prem Exec, 1K and UGS...
While the luggage DL MMs get is nice enough, the individual luggage items don't cost DL what it used to and is not as good as it used to be. $500-600 retail, maybe; not wholesale.

UA 1MMs lost Premier Executive status? That would be news to me.

UA Premier Executive status is better than DL's GM status in 2010.
