i agree with beckoa and go a step further

UA and US are part of the same allaince
even though i may travel on both
it does me no good to collect miles in both
UA is the much better program so if i fly US i send the miles to my UA account
my US account has about 200 miles in it and will die a silent death soon

NWA, CO and DL are partners
i am trying to get my dl and nwa accts up to the next reward level
then put all the miles into my co account
CO has another advantage in that its linked to amtrak so you can use your airline miles for train travel and well as launder points to hilton

i dont know much about AS but it sounds like its worth looking into
