You could spend some time and produce a table to calculate the $ cost of a SP (ie $/SP) for the various combinations of fare class and product type for each city pair. The results on buried somewhere on my mac at home. I think for cost effectiveness (lowest $/SP) that:
- FlexiRefund has better $/SP than Seat (offers full refund if weather is bad or plans change)
- Cheaper fares have better $/SP better expensive fares (but you need more flights and waste more time)
