All things being equal (no C available on anything, loads look similar (i.e., just a few seats taken on the maps and J7)), is one better than another to clear 4 EVIPs (attached to an EXP) and 1 miles plus co-pay (no status)?
I have learned to take the flights that have greater availability to upgrade unless your trip has some hard dates already which can't be moved.
