(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
  • Upgrades
  • Redeeming miles for a few free flights a year (hopefully first class)

From the last few hours I have spent reading the forums it looks like AA would be the suggestion, but I figured I would ask anyways.
AA/US Airways - Delta - United - Alaska (due to AA & DL being partners) are worthy of consideration. The best ffp will be very dependant on the airlines you fly & destination. You do not have enough information yet to decide. For many earning from credit card is a good way to earn miles

Delta looks to have many flights from JAX

Upgrades are not guaranteed and harder if you do not have high airline ffp status
For many airline ffp's award flights are a long way from "free". Cash surcharges can be high.
