To be honest, I have a very limited knowledge about UA FFP earning ratio on 9W. So, I can't answer that for you. But, with AI now being a *A member, I believe, *most* lower classes earn about 50% miles on UA FFP. Check the UA website.
My prefrence for AI over 9W, is due to:
1. My personal experience with AI being better than 9W.
2. 9W operates JetKonnect flights on majority of the sectors I frequent.
3. As I am based at BOM, with majority 9W-S2 domestic flights operating from T1B, the lack of lounge in the terminal leads to 'Buy-on-Board' of crappy stuff. With AI from T1A, plenty of lounge options for me!

However if you do want a premium cabin then Jet might be your only option as AI is mostly running all Y planes on this route.
Like AVNEESHJ points out, BOM-NAG route is hardly 90 minutes. It wouldn't really matter, which airline you fly.
AI (except on Sun), 9W, IndiGo fly twice daily and there's a single GoAir flight as well.
