I know I can earn 100% miles from DL, but I also heard that it's hard to use DL miles...
What about AF?
Also, if I want to earn DL miles instead of AF, how can I do that?
I'm a *A guy, and I don't know anything about ST... I got the FB Platinum status by status match this year.

As with *A airlines, it all depends on what you would like to get out of your FFP, given your typical flight and booking class pattern.
If you just want to collect some miles with these 25% flights to get award flights it is probably safe to say that going for DL is not a bad choice. You will get 4 times the miles after all. I do not belive that DL award availability is so bad that it would justify earning only a fourth of the miles.
If you live in the US you will also benefit from loads of miles promotions that are around every now and then - something you will not get with Flying Blue, at least not to such an extent.
