AA or United, if chase status, fly from MSP International travels mainly

Delta dimond and will be platinum 2024.

​​​​​​Likely have a couple of international trips (asia Europe latam) a year and limited domestic flights from 2024.
Is it easier to chase AA or United?

Seems United only needs $4k to qualify but AA $8k? Seems better off for United to fly premium partner's flights to get more pqf?

How is the game for AA? Shopping mall a but double dip for Marriott Hotels etc. How is it with partner flights and other ways to fast track?

I did not like United hard seat and AA has old plane and my Mile's expired on AA before so....

What's your end goal? How much will you be flying going forward? What routes?

IMO, chasing status to have it is a waste of time.

I might be mistaken, but I think AA's fleet is among the youngest if not the youngest among DL, UA, and AA.

I am a diamond in MSP as well, in February I called United and they would give me United 1k with 18 flights and $6000 spend within 120 days.
