I take the first flight out on Monday AM, so on-time performance is pretty equal across the board. I've only needed to change one flight over the past 4 months, so that is not a major issue. It looks like a lot of the legacies have pretty comparable programs as far as mile redemption goes; I've never tried to book reward travel with them, so I'm unfamiliar with the blackout/restrictions that are unique to each one.

Also, thanks for moving my post to a more appropriate area. I'm still learning the FT ropes.
