I personally would book the flight with the connection and pay the UM fee. There are no other airlines I see that have a nonstop flight for this routing.
Only need UM status one way, but SW will not allow anyone over 11 to be an UM, nor will they allow UM on a trip that requires a plane change.

I'll check to see if other airlines have a different policy.
