A, F are First Class earn
C, D, J, P are Business Class earn
Z falls under Full Economy earn

Most domestic UA First Class flights either book into full A/F, or more often P or Z.
P is a good compromise between cost and SP earn
I personally avoid booking into Z as it's a step down in SP earn and often no cheaper than P inventory (in my experience)
