None are great choices from a program perspective. But more info is needed:

(1) What is most important: status perks, mileage redemption (if so for what), upgrades?
(2) Will you have any domestic travel?
(3) How do you plan to get to Africa? DL currently flies LOS, and UA has plans to fly to LOS, but otherwise you'll be flying via Europe (depending on your origination).

Nb. This probably belongs on a separate thread.
