What programme to choose based in Jakarta?

Hello,

This is my first post here so apologies for any mistakes, etc

I was wondering if you could provide any advice?

Currently, I am based in Brussels and I have Silver card (Frequent Traveller) at Miles and More (LH). I will be moving to Jakarta in August at least for 3 years. From there I will travel at least 2 times a year to Europe (Belgium and Poland). I will also try to travel around Asia and Australia. My trips will be both in economy and business class.

I am wondering if you have any idea which airline/frequent flyer programme to choose as the main one? I was thinking of Malaysia Airlines (Oneworld) and Qatar (soon to be Oneworld)? Garuda for the moment does not have many affiliations (only Etihad, Korean, etc) but early 2014 should join Sky team.

To get to Jakarta I was offered 3 options:

PROPOSAL 1:
HAI VIA BANGKOK
TG 935 J
TG 433 J

PROPOSAL 2:
ETHIAD VIA ABU DHABI
EY 58 D
EY7139 D

PROPOSAL 3:
TURKISH AIRLINES VIA ISTANBUL
TK1940 D
TK 66 D

I am a bit puzzled and I think there is no single answer on my query.

Many thanks in advance.
