The right answer is that this might be different for everybody even when the credit card only gives 1/2 a mile per dollar some people might find it a better deal than the cash back. I suspect the majority would go with the $ rather than the miles.
However, the questions that you have to ask yourself are:
1) what level of credit card expenses do you have per year?
2) How many united miles do you have already? How many more for a free flight?
3) Do you have any plans to fly anywhere when you do get enough miles for a flight?
