Yeah, as always it depends. But if I had to make a binary choice between UR and airline miles (generically), I'd pick UR. The reason is that UR points have flexibility in multiple transfer partners (airline, hotel and train) which a single airline scheme doesn't and UR has some good choices in transfer partners.
In a DL v. UR example I'd say UR in a heartbeat, though in an individual redemption scenario DL could have more value depending on the trip(s) in question and a person's circumstances.

After consulting with the mods of Milesbuzz and Infodesk, I'll move this thread to the latter.

It depends on your choice but UR and Amex miles are almost worth the same with regular airline miles worth a bit less due to less flexibility
