If your company is paying, you want the miles, and don't care what the cost is use UA. If you're paying - shop around!
Remember, nearly EVERYTHING UA offers has hooks! Falling for the "Extra Miles" trick can be costly, especially if your using your own dime!

Interesting. I usually use National, but for the next several weeks, UA had a bonus offer where renting from them and getting 35% off + extra miles was no more than from the Avis site directly (I tried) and it was quite a bit less than National...I think this might be a classic YMMV situation.
