Staying downtown San Francisco. Need to do a fly in-fly out to LAX. Both airports are an option, with SFO giving an AA option and thus first class, seprate security and lounge access available.

OAK gives me WN, for 1/2 the price of AA, which makes sense, even though I lose all my perks. But WN dominated airports carry a high "Clampett" factor--long lines with inexperienced travelers, such as I have seen at MDW. I do not fly from MDW as a result.

Can someone give me an opinion on OAK? Assuming BART/cab travel times are equal, is it a decent airport? SFO does not bother me at all, but if OAK is considered a better airport overall it may sway my choices.
