You have to think about which airline(alliance) you usually fly with, how often you fly, short or long haul, the level you will get to with each programme, the efficiency of spending your miles in the future.
From the posts by JasonP is a reasonable assumption he is from South Africa. As well as Qatar, RSA is served by other OneWorld airlines:- BA, Cathy Pacific & Qantas. And BA-Comair domestically. For someone from RSA, who was not a member of ffp before, BA ffp seem the best choice IMHO.
