Best Star Alliance program for Indian resident

Hi guys - appreciate if you could help me, i'm a bit of a weird flyer... and because I've just moved to India about a year ago, with a new travel schedule, I'm kind of starting from scratch!

(1) What is your home airport? DEL (Delhi)
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? Business Class, class D
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? actual flying: 3 RT to the US each year, plus a little more travel around, so around 50,000 miles per year, i think?
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? Right now no status on non-Indian airlines (none are yet part of any alliance)
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? 1) Lounge access, 2) Upgrades on travel, 3) Priority service
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? Usually India-US and back. I like star alliance because between Swiss & LH, I can have a 1-connection anywhere, and there's direct on CO for NYC.
(7) Preferred Airlines: outside of Indian airlines, LH, LX i suppose
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? (Can you chooose your airlines, class of service?) Mix, but I can usually choose by airlines, usually fly business
