Assuming you're talking about redeemable miles:
If you buy on UA 016 ticket, you will earn based on the fare you paid and the status multiplier. Fare without tax is $1,864, so you'll earn 5x (9,320 miles) without any status. You would probably be better off crediting to a mileage based program like LH, TK or AC, and get at least 21,890 miles, if you fly YYZ-LAX-SIN.
If you buy on NH 205 ticket, you will earn 150% miles on MileagePlus. But you'll have to double connect via the US since NH doesn't fly to YYZ. If you maximize your routing, you can do YYZ-EWR-LAX-HND-SIN and get 34,731 (23,154 x 1.5).
If you are talking about status miles, then it's 200% miles on UA or NH ticket crediting to MileagePlus.
