Where to credit VA flight?

I will be flying VA biz class SYD to Nadi Fiji later this week, but as a US citizen I don't have Velocity membership. Here's my choice of programs to credit to but wonder which one is best:

VS flying Club (Gold)
VA Elevate (gold) - will transfer to Alaska at X1.3
DL SkyMiles (Plat)

Appreciate any advice

It really depends on your needs.

You'd want to check out prospective earn for each program and credit where you need the earn most.

DL Skymiles don't expire (well, until you do). So that is probably the best option for 'orphan' miles.

But as others have said, it probably depends on other factors more than just this flight value. This one flight won't earn much so put it somewhere that you can grow in the future.

If you credit to DL, the MQMs will count towards your Million Miler status if that's something you're aiming for.
