considering if i should make a switch

i thought perhaps getting some of your inputs would be helpful. i'm currently a UA gold but i'm thinking about whether a switch to another *A or even going back to delta might make sense, given that UA has upped the award redemption amounts and i dont think UA upgrades happen that frequently and i need to take 4 UA flights a year but the good thing about UA is that the taxes on redemptions is relatively low.

(1) What is your home airport? -- SGP
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? -- Y
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? -- usually can squeeze in enough trips to make it to 50k
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? -- UA Gold
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? -- Extra baggage, priority baggage, lounge access and upgrades (if possible)
(6) Which routes do you fly most often -- No fixed routes really.
(7) Preferred Airlines -- SQ (because of the connections given that SGP is the home airport, but Krisflyer charges alot more in taxes for award redemptions hence I left Krisflyer)
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? Both but largely pleasure

Thanks !
