Appreciate the advice to arrive at 5 AM. It was between that and 5:30. We'll be staying out near DEN that last night.
Oh, I agree that UA doesn't offer a great experience. Heck, I'm a 1K and usually only get a mediocre-at-best experience. But it's still a heck of a lot better than the Frontier experience.
I only originate a couple times a year at DEN, so there are certainly folks way more knowledgeable than me on the subject, but I find flying out of DEN to be a major time sop. The airport was not designed for quickness. Even if you're staying near DEN (btw, a new Westin is going to open soon AT the terminal), it's still a slow process, especially if you have to return a car.
