Stickers and SWUs come from different inventory (X (or R) for he former and A (or C) for the latter. The parenthetical options are for Y->J on 3-class flights. So, they are not prioritized the same since the inventories are different.

A little time in the Upgrade section of the FAQ would provide some of this basic information about the program and prove helpful in understanding how upgrades work. Alternatively, there's always the Newbie Lounge thread for basic questions.

Cheers.
