I am tempted to use Turkish because their fare is so much lower, but I don't know how much PQP I will earn VS. buying a United Business class ticket.Is the difference in PQP earned so great that it justifies paying almost double for the ticket ? Does anyone know how to calculate these comparable fares.
Help please.

Your TK itinerary I'm guessing would be DEN-IST-TLV (RT) for 13705mi assuming all TK metal. TK is not a preferred partner, so divide distance flown by 6, then multiply by your fare class (guessing J), so 13705 / 6 * 1 = 2284 PQP
On UA, I'm guessing you'd earn something like 5000 PQP (or whatever the website states you will earn) depending on taxes/fees/etc.
