Last time I ran into that situation (late 2013/early 2014?) they counted as AS flights. Don't know if that's changed.

In my experience it isn't always more expensive though it could well be for your times/routes or it's just changed since when I was looking.
For the more general question, though, it's hard to say without understanding more about your times, resources ($ and miles), flexibility, places you'd like to go, etc. Start maybe by figuring out what you want to do between now and when the GC expires and which thing(s) it makes sense to use the GC on?
