If you are just trying to collect miles than Western Airlines suggestion is the best based on what you state your travel patterns are.
If you are trying to obtain elite status than nobody is going to be able to offer you a viable suggestion until you tell which airport you normally fly from.
Since this is a general mileage earning question would not the answer be best found by the participants of the MilesBuzz! forum? Not sure there are a lot of posters to NW who have extensive knowledge of 1world and *a.
