a bit off topic but have to transfer ultimate rewards right away (about 35k) but I also have marriot rewards if needed. Would SQ be considered a better option than united or the other few options available? I travel us to SE asia business sometimes, also may fly to middle east

Would have to depend on what you want and what you fly. For redemption, it will depend on what you are looking to redeem, since you were asking for *A redemption. IIRC, SQ might charge YQ on *A itineraries while UA doesn't. Also, different programs charge different rates for redemption, like I was looking at NH domestic flights, SQ charges 12.5k miles while UA charges 5k miles, if both sides see the same availability. (SQ also has a limitation of only allowing pure NH domestic redemption bookings to within 3 months of flight), so for me it was to book with UA miles.
As to credit your flights, it depends on what benefit you are looking for, though you'd already have most benefits flying business.
