Question LAX: Recommended Airline

I used to travel a lot, but for the last 12 years, my kids were young, so I limited my work travel to mainly day trips within California on Southwest. They're a little older now and my wife and I work from home, so I'm starting to take longer trips for work outside of California. I live in Los Angeles, and although BUR is my preferred airport, I'm willing to sit in traffic and go to LAX to maximize my earnings and redemption options for family vacations outside the US.
It's nice to be back on flyertalk, and thanks in advance for your thoughts/advice.
