I enjoy flying Cathay (ususally), and it seems to be the fastest trip to SE Asia. On the other hand, I can't see that I'll get all that many more benefits for Diamond than for Gold, while qualifying with Aeroplan will give me * lounge access. I'm not sure what to do. I'm also not sure which airlines I'll be using most in the future, it partly depends on where my work is, and where my home might be...So, any opinions out there???

if it's a toss-up between FC over BC lounge access and OW & *A lounge access, i would say go for AC. that way, you'll get lounge access no matter which alliance you travel with.
