My question is this: which OW program will offer the highest mileage accumulation with respect to the cost of reward flights? Qualification for upper-tier status is secondary in my case since I doubt I'll be travelling much in the coming year, esp with OW airlines.

Thanks!
The booking class does matter in some cases. E.g. you only earn 70% on JAL I fare which is a discounted business class fare on JAL flights. Not sure about other programs but the more info you provide the more accurate answer you will get.
