To which alliance(s) to commit my points

Hi all! I have been lurking the forums a long time and finally decided to register and start a thread as I have a bit of a dilemma in my hands.

So far this year I've been flying *A (mostly LH) and some AY, so at this moment I got ~30k tier points in LH account and ~10k in my AY+. I still have quite a few trips left this year and now I am wondering, how I should allocate my points.

Choices:

1) Sign up for Aegean and get *A gold, rest of the points to LH and get LH FTL also.

2) Split points and get AY+ Silver and LH FTL.

At the moment 2) feels a bit better but I am not sure.

What are your thoughts?
