Does the upgrade from economy using a star alliance mileage upgrade go into the elite class or royal class?

Thanks,

Looking to book a LAX-> TPE RT ticket with EVA, i know that I need to purchase B fare ticket for upgrade.

I know that B upgrades to J, but when searching for award availability do i search for J or I? (with expert flyer)

Also to my understanding what i need to do is buy on eva B ticket, call united and upgrade, is that correct? Is there a better way to check availability for upgrade before buying the EVA ticket?
