(3) What types of fares do you usually buy ?
short haul Economy and long haul business usually using money + miles (see comments above) although I will buy long haul business if needed...
Not directly related to your decision on which FFP, but it sounds like you might want to investigate a Circle Pacific fare (ex-HKG, starting around US/AU$ 5000++ in business class) which could dramatically reduce your long-haul business class outlay and still keep you in high-standard carriers (QF, JL, CX) in the process. The intra-Oz flights could be included (in J.)
