Go for Asiana miles or UA

I'm one one of many flights to Seoul. Over the next year I may fly here 3 -4 times. Domestically I will only fly at most once a month. I wonder if I should have these flight apply to Asiana instead of UA. I already have about 15,000 Asian miles.

Do the segments on UA metal count toward Asiana Points too? I think they do.

If I fly UA domestically could I have those flights apply to Asiana.

Getting Asiana, once reaching 40K would give me a few advantages in the *A. If I continue with this flight pattern in a couple years I woul reach 100K with Asiana and then would essentailly (hopefully) have *A Gold for life. Once I have that I could then concentrate on domestic airlines.

My partner is also spouse is also traveling with me, but they travel a lot domestically, so makes more sense to have the miles go to UA for status.

What do others think?
