just one data point
UA does have elite access security line - if you leave at a relatively quiet time it's a breeze.
If you happen to have Amex Plat or Centurion there's a new Lounge at D gates that is awesome. It's in between the delta and UA gates there.
UA only flies the regional jets and occas 737 so on a regional jet there may be weight issues. I'd fly whoever flies mainline service.
