(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? (Frequent upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, good award redemption rates, free lounge access, etc.)
Upgrades and priority services.

For 2 years in SIN stay with United. Just put you UA ff number in the SQ reservation.
You will not get (freebie - status) upgrades on Asian flights, so forget about this. For upgrades with airlines based out of the USA always expect to fly in the class you buy. You may get the chance for an upgrade on long haul UA flights, but is hard.
