It's hard to get reasonable DL award tickets, especially (for domestic) if you don't have status, but status brings bonus miles and you can easily get miles (including status miles on Plat and Reserve) from DL AmEx credit cards. This probably won't be enough to change your decision if you're sure that a significant fraction of your travel will be on UA/CO, but it's something to consider. With UA/CO you suffer through the merger but with DL, there seems to be uncertainty regarding how their FF program will evolve.
