For Top Tier...

I would seriously consider American's AAdvantage EXP Status. It's a nice hybrid as you not only get the free domestic upgrades but relatively easy international upgrades as well (compared to NW, CO & DL). Moreover, American does not penalize you for buying the cheap tickets - instead they reward you for purchasing the expensive tickets via their Q-Points system.

As always, YMMV.
