Best in class!
I actually quite like the SC though, that part is actually best in class (NA).

Which *A program are you already a member of? And how often do you fly with that airline? If you want to accumulate the most miles and possibly make status, it's best to stick with an alliance. Just because you're already collecting with one *A airline, you're by no means stuck to *A. Oneworld includes some of the world's best airlines and SkyTeam, although a weaker alliance, may have a network that better suits you.
I guess important things are:
- How often you fly per year
- What class you usually fly in
- Where you live/where you will fly from
- Where you want to fly
Those are important because you want to pick a program/alliance that serves where you live and where you want to go as well. Every program has its little quirks, so it's best to have as much information about your own flight habits as well as the FFPs.
