Should I even bother having anything posted to MileagePlus this year (I haven't flown this year yet) if OnePass is currently giving a higher percentage on the flights I am traveling?

Of course, now I am going to spend the next 8 hours looking for a signup bonus for OnePass.
Under the "Consolidated "Official CO/UA Merger-Related Announcements from UA Insider" Thread" that is sticky on the first page is everything you need to know about combining the accounts.

What you are talking about is what I have been doing for the last year. In general OP historically gave better credit for flying US than MP, so my continental and US activity went to OP and United to MP for the last year. The arb is going away, though... Sigh...
