It will be less 5k because the $1k ticket will include fees and taxes on which you don't earn miles. LH has a horrible program don't bother with them.

Look at OZ's burn rates. Also look at AV. They have a pretty good earn rate for UA and a 40k threshold for reaching *G. Keep a couple a few things in mind...
1. Earn and burn rates and redemption availability is important
2. Make sure that wherever you're crediting you will be able to credit reward points too, or have a card that can outright buy tickets on the card's RP
