In fact based on how many connecting flights you take, you may earn mid tier status (gold). Therefore I believe that you should make your decision based on being at least at entry level status and not which program is better for general members.

The place to look for information like this is the MilesBuzz forum where you will find threads like this one.

BTW, is there a reason why you are not considering AA?

However your question will be better served by moving this thread over to the MilesBuzz forum, which is where I will place it.
