Got a question, would love to hear people's perspectives on it

I'm booking travel SFO-MCO for Nov 2022. The nonstop costs $199 in non-saver main cabin, F is $499. If I choose "MVP 75K upgrade", the upgradeable fare is $399 and if I choose MVP Gold Guest, the upgradeable fare is $219. However, both SFO-MCO and MCO-SFO are showing F in a white box, so I can't get upgrade after booking. In such a scenario, what is the best course of action - book the $199, $219, or $399 fare? Or put another way, is there any point paying extra if you can't confirm upgrade immediately after booking?

Thank you in advance!! (aside: if anyone else is going to edc orlando, send me a dm!!)
