Globalist SUA Strategy

Curious what folks' Globalist SUA strategies are. I should hit Globalist for the first time this year, with an anticipated 70 total nights. If I select SUAs at each milestone I would end the year with 6 SUAs. I understand they can have outsized value in lots of circumstances, but I have no idea how easy/hard they are to actually use in real life. I tend to book stays well in advance, so I presume I'd have some advantage there.

But are folks selecting all SUAs and able to use them all, are they difficult to use and folks end up with leftovers each year, etc. Or maybe they can be traded for decent value making them worth the selection anyways (points would be my next choice so a trade would have to exceed the points option).

Any thoughts on the optimal strategy would be much appreciated, especially given the slight difference between milestone selections along the way (e.g. at 40 you get 5k points or 1 SUA vs. at 50 you get 5k points or 2 SUAs).

Thanks!
