I live 15 minutes from MHT and would consider service and upgrade potential to/from MHT to be a primary deciding factor.

Delta gives you upfront options:
MD-80 to/from ATL twice per day - good upgrade, nice plane to fly upfront
CRJ 700 to/from DTW twice per day - not great but better product than AA regional upfront
CRJ 700 to/from LGA once per day - not great but better product than AA regional upfront

New AA gives you:
ERJ175 to/from PHL four times a day - I don't prefer the PM US regional F class
ERJ175 to/from CLT twice per day - I don't prefer the PM US regional F class

I would choose Delta and fly via ATL whenever practical to fly mainline instead of not so great regional jets.
