ask yourself 2 questions. #1 where do you fly out of and #2 where are your most common destinations. For the most part if you arent using an airport with AS prescence it wouldnt make much sense of using AS unless you are say in an area like somewhere between wyoming and illinois where a short hop gets you to STL, MSP, or ORD and most of your destinations are something like ANC and SEA. Some more information would definately be helpful in assisting with any advice in choosing a progream
