Go with US. Redeem the miles for international first or business class tickets with Star Alliance partners. Domestic redemptions are less worthwhile.

Review the programs when UA and CO merge. For now US is better, UNLESS one flies UA internationally a lot.

I will be flying out of DCA and IAD. Mostly DCA to MCO and IAD to LAX.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
