No status with UAL.(nor any other SkyTeam member)

Don't really have status with Delta but have miles on that account.

Going to work in Kuwait for a year and local travel may be possible.

Should I have the mileage go to an Emirates account or better dumping it to UAL?

My best option would be.........

Thanks
Keep in mind crediting anything to Emirates won't help you at all with UA. I would credit to UA and you will probably be able to get 1p status if you take 3 trips a year no problem. This will give you lounge access, 100% RDM bonus, and UDU when traveling in the states and baggage allowance. Crediting to Emirates won't get you nearly the perks.
