it depends on the carrier you want to fly with.
for example if you are *Gold with thai, i can tell you that you will almost get every award on thai airways you want to book.
i know one program which allows waitlisting for awards, but awards waitlist normally only clear if you know how to pull the trigger.
some FFPs allow one ways like BMI, some earn more miles than others in C, so if you want to optimize you might give us the information where you are based, which airline is your home carrier, and which routes you are normally looking for awards.
as i am based in europe and asia, i am flying frequently between asia and europe on C & F awards. i found LH miles not bad for booking awards and i think that TG miles are for me the best bet, as i tend to punch in a stopover in BKK normally.
if the routing doesnt matter that all, * will bring you almost everywhere.
for example i was looking for europe- asia last time. LH did offer me one flight with OZ , LH, or TG via BKK . i took the BKK one, as i was able to go all the way in new C and i had a stopover in BKK getting a massage and having dinner with my friends and than leaving again with the 23pm flight.
