Hey hey
I've chosen US Airways to store my SAS, and AA for OneWorld. I fly economy most of the time. As for redemption, I prefer upgrades on the long hauls, and the occasional extra ticket to a stateside location.

To start, you should pick one airline per alliance and credit your miles within that alliance to that carrier. Which one you pick should depend on what kind of tickets you buy and what kind of redemption you'll want to do. Tickets in different fare classes will earn different % of actual miles flown via different carriers. For instance, if you choose Lufthansa as your *A carrier, they may only give 25% credit for deeply discounted coach tickets. If United or US Airways would give you 100% credit, then it makes more sense to credit those flights to United/US. My guess is you'll find it most rewarding to credit to UA/US, AA/BA and DL. But you'll need to think about what types of redemptions you want, also. Do you want 2 tickets in coach to Miami for a bunch of long weekends or 2 tickets to Koh Samui Thailand in first class? If you tell people a little bit more about your goals then we can all be of more help!
