I would say that AA/DL/UA are all the same in terms of quantity, since using UA 320 PlusPoints without fare restrictions equates to 4 one-way Y to J, equivalent to 4 AA SWU or DL GUC.

UA just offers more flexibility in its use, depending on what type of fares the flyer books, which is I suppose an added benefit (until they devalue PlusPoints).
