Best DM Choice Benefit/s after GUC and SC - 50K bonus miles or $400 voucher?
I'd like to ask which DM choice benefit is the next best after the GUCs and the SC membership (which is redundant for me given the Reserve card). 50K Bonus miles vs. $400 travel voucher? Thanks

On the other hand, if you need extra MQD to requalify, tou might prefer to choose the vouchers, which would count toward MQD when used. (Pay With Miles can earn MQM, but not MQD.)

How so? Thought you could only pick one of each benefit type. Further, if you choose GUC's and an individual SC membership, you'd only have one choice left.
Looks like OP first attained DM in 2017 for 2018 program year which means he only gets one set of choice benefits unless/until he requalifies for DM this year (for 2019 program year).

Right, this is new with the 2018 Choice Benefits. "Diamond Medallion Members now have the ability to make multiple selections of the same benefit, excluding Global and Regional Upgrade Certificates and Delta Sky Club Memberships."
So apparently you could gift GM to 3 people if you were so inclined.
