Unless you work right at Union Station or nearby, it takes about the same time to to get to IAD as it does BWI. DCA is the clear winner if you live downtown. Given that you'll be going to Asia a few times a year as well as Europe, I would choose United. Even if you don't get upgraded they do have Eco+ which isn't too bad for a transcon.
