Maybe I'm better suited to stay off this forum.
Status and $3 will get you a coffee. If you are into braging rights, you do you. What from status do you want?
For *me*, flying from Halifax to a few Canadian and mostly US destinations, AC (and UA via *A) is and effective lazy choice. Status makes the 140 segments/year tolerable.
