In search of airport and airline opinions

Alright, so I need to book some tickets to get me from Gainesville, Fl to Philadelphia, PA from August 17 through 19. Price is not exactly an huge issue since I have no less than three sources willing to pay for all or part of said trip. What is important is that I have an extreme fear of getting stuck in an airport and not making it to Philadelphia which would then lead to me missing my first oral presentation at an ACS (American Chemical Society) meeting. That would be very, very sad. Thus, I would greatly appreciate some opinions on my options. Here they are:

  1. $308 flying US Airways and connecting in Charlotte
  2. $398 flying Delta and connecting in Atlanta
  3. $692 flying United and connecting in Charlotte

Any thoughts?

    I would probably choose the $398 fare with Delta connecting in Atlanta. Delta has many flights out of Atlanta, so could probably get you on another flight easily if something happened. I have had bad experiences with US Airways (delayed a flight one hour so some cruise ship passengers could make the flight; I missed my international flight as a result!). The United flight is entirely too expensive and no more reliable than the others.
