Also need to consider what emerald does for you. AA Plat (sapphire) get 100% bonus miles but you need to be QF Plat (emerald) to get 100% bonus. QF Gold (sapphire) only get 50% bonus. All emerald's are not equal.

Generally the airline you fly the most is best, as the airlines own high status ffer's will be first on list for upgrades & rewards flights.
