KrisFlyer or elevate

I am not sure if I should be asking this, but I guess I'd just post it. If it's inappropriate or anything, admin please just remove it or move it elsewhere.

So I am not a frequent traveler in U.S. domestic. But I need to go to San Francisco from NYC recently. Being a Star Silver still short of 6000 miles from *G, I was thinking of flying United. However, I realized that VX has far superior product (I am correct, right!?), and UA and VX sell for the same price. I couldn't resist it and booked the flight on VX in the end.

Here's the problem, I don't really know what to do with my miles. I don't see myself traveling that much domestically, and even if so, most likely on cheap tickets. I thought of saving my miles onto KrisFlyer, but then again I don't think I would fly SQ at least in the next 4-5 years, plus I have another Star that gives me *S already, no point of put miles on Kris.

But I guess it's the dumpest to just waste it, so I don't know what to do with my VX miles. Should I still credit it onto elevate? or KrisFlyer a better choice? or even Flying Club (if that could secretly becomes DL in the future and gave me greater benefit?)
