I currently have an SK Eurobonus account, with a negligable balance, and a Miles & More account, that I stopped using years ago.
UA gives you 18 months between activity to keep your miles alive, and you get low or zero YQ on UA metal (and AC IIRC). Both SK and LH are a no go, and since you want to redeem economy you really need no taxes.

The problem with taxes is that you really need to fly UA, which might not be great most of the time.
