There are several good reasons why one would want a codeshare every now and then, but given a choice between an itinerary consisting of prime flight numbers and one with codeshares, it's usually a safer bet to go with the former.

Just my $0.02...
Indeed, and considering the OP's rather obscure title, I was expecting this thread to be about one of the cases why you might precisely avoid codeshares. By contrast, as others have mentioned, luggage issues are extremely straightforward.
