I mainly fly Oneworld alliance airlines (I hadn't even heard of skyteam until this year!), and being based in the UK, there is no obvious choice for me as I would very rarely fly KLM or Air France. I make quite a few flights in the states, so continental or delta could be an option perhaps?

Is there a particular skyteam program that offers the best chance to get status/miles that I should join?

I have a dormant continental one pass account with 0 miles from years ago which is still open...

Thanks in advance for any input!

If you fly Aeromexico a lot and if you ever buy coach tickets on them, I'd recommend DL. Once you become Elite on DL, you get the miles for all the partners, but they also offer elite's complimentary upgrades on all DL domestic, and central american, and northern south american (peru, etc.) flights. Furthermore, you can get complimentary upgrades on Aeromexico flights as well.
