I am wondering whether I should spend the extra 10K and go on USAirways, since they may be worthless soon, but then again, if they do go broke, it may mean the award ticket is useless...

Any advice?

I would use the US Air miles. There is great risk of liquidation and few are confident that any other airline will adopt Dividend Miles customers in the current environment without some major loss to their accounts.
