B for sure.
Just ask for RPU to be applied only to PHL-SFO. Later if it clears, call and ask to be applied to the short leg (R may be gone by then but puts you ahead of the non-GS CPUers).
Don't suggest marking SFO-PHX as do not upgrade -- not needed and kills the CPU for the RPU never clears.
Don't play the downgrade game, in corner cases that can be a problem and in most cases leads to a lousy seat.

irrelevant?? it is required for a voluntary downgrade and on a full flight, K-fare may not open at the gate.
