We dont have one at the moment and have no real preference of airline. I'm thinking one that might get us a few free/cheap internal flights within the US while we are over there
I'm not up on all the details, but I know that Virgin now has reciprocity between their programs. So if you fly Virgin Australia on those long flights, you can use the points for Virgin America flights (which tend to be inexpensive to begin with). If nothing else, the Virgin airlines products tend to be nicer than the competition (especially in economy).
