My default choice right now is UA, but she'll never hit the miles or spend for *G on UA.

But if the Aegean miles are useless (that's my question?) then the calculus changes. Why do you call them wasted?
With Aegean you should check which booking class you buy on SQ - some cheaper tickets earns zero miles...
