I do not have any Skyteam FF membership. Which program would be most beneficial for me given this situation? I could also put in a few transcon mileage runs if I can gain any status.

Cheers

Why not go on AC via Toronto - and join the Aeroplan program - notwithstanding your status with a fellow Star Alliance partner? If you join AC, and reach 25,000 status miles, you reach the first tier (eg Prestige) status, and start receiving upgrade certificates - you can not upgrade on AC with any UA certificates? If you live in Montreal, presumably you would likely go on some domestic flights, which can not count towards status miles (QEM) of Sky Team or OW airlines FF plans.
