Best SkyTeam program for stray DL flights
Here are my facts.
AS/DL relationship ending. I will likely fly DL about once a year, sometimes more, sometimes less. I also fly AM on rare occasion (but will continue to credit to AS as long as that lasts). Most if not all travel is in paid (discounted) premium cabins.
I also fly intra-South America on paid tickets from time to time, and while I prefer LATAM, would fly AR on short hops, and this is my most likely redemption (i.e., SCL/BUE) for wherever these miles end up. I'll likely never have any status (unless I ask for a match, which I wouldn't want to waste anytime soon) nor will want credit cards, etc.
So, I need a bank, and not sure if DL, AR or AM would be the best bank. I'm also totally unfamiliar with all of them.
Comments, suggestions, et al., please! Thanks.

DL ff miles do not (currently) expire. That is unusual
