Having read through the various forums, and websites of the various programs I'm looking at the following programs - SAS EB, BMI DC, and TG ROP.
Any recommendations for those or is there a better *A program for my needs.
Thanks for any help

Have you considered Asiana's Club program? Once you reach 100K miles (no time limit to do so) you get *A Gold status, which is valid for three(!) years. To requalify, you need 40K in these three years (combined, not per year). They do participate in the *A Upgrade scheme and unlike TG ROP, miles do not expire.
