CSR.

Status negates the benefits of the Explorer card (boarding group and checked bag).

CSR gives more points (3x v 2x on explorer), and better travel insurance. Also the Ultimate Reward points and more versatile than united miles.

Csr :(

?? Why the sad face?

I don’t know much abt the mileage plus card but the CSR has trip delay ins which is $500 of stuff if delayed 6 hours. Most travel cards have baggage ins and stuff like that so I assume both would that this feature.
