America West Airlines, US Airways or United Airlines? Part 2

Q: Wanting to fly one way from SFO to LAS in January. Have done a few searches (Expedia, Orbitz, etc) and the prices are very similar (if not the same) between America West Airlines, US Airways and United Airlines. Which is the better airline out of the three to fly with? Do any include meals or do you have to pay on each airline (especially America West Airlines)? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

A: America West bought US Airways and merged as US Airways several months ago ... of the choices you mentioned I'd pick United since it seems more US Air flights get canceled on the routes we fly (we have FF accounts with both United and US Air) but as others point out it's not THAT big a difference, especially for a single short flight.
Certainly nothing like the diff between say Quantas and Ansett (which I flew four times in Oz between Cairns and Sydney and three times it was really really bad :)
