I've never had Delta pass benefits but I'll give it to you straight: I have both CO/UA bennies but for now they are separate (supposed to be all one in March). Listing on coair.com is easiest. No fee for listing on domestic flights on coair but you have to pay tax on the international stuff. My hire date shows on my listing and I am an SA4C. This generally puts me on average around the middle to top 3rd on the standby list. The UA bennies are not as good (but I've heard the Continental "employee res" system will carry over when they combine everything, we shall see). Most ALL United Express carriers share the same level of benefits, all based around DOH on the standby list. Both CO/UA have service charges for first/business class. Domestic companion passes run about $60 per segment (I tell friends/extended family to buy a ticket on SWA and get a confirmed seat without having to connect if they want one: e.g. MKE-ORD-MCI is $240 roundtrip). That's about it.

You have no priority on the continental side... Your board date rolls over every year... My non rev board date is 01/12.
There is no cost involved for riding in coach and a small fee for first (if you can ever get it)... Parents and a travel companion can be registered...
Overall the pass benefits suck... I just use fedex when I need to travel.

As FO or CA? Pinnacle guys hired mid 2001 can't even hold IAH Q400 Captain with these ridiculous quotas! LOL! While May 2008 Colgan guys are holding it. 
Sorry, I do not know much about Colgan travel benefits. But from what I hear, Delta's $50 benefits are actually good in terms of what you get. I know AA charges Eagle guys a fee for every flight for 5 years before they come free.

Man thanks a lot for the information guys. I couldn't find that anywhere. I'm not going to make a decision to transfer based off of nonrev benefits, however, as a commuter they do play a role in QOL points. That is, of coarse, if I can ever hold it. (FO).
SA4C, where is that in the grand scheme of things? I'm assuming that it is the equivelant to S3C to Delta. Do you get any boost in priority on your own flight? Like Delta we at least are equal w/ mainline on our own flights.
Delta:
S2: X amount given to mainline employees to use to up their priority.
S3: Mainline employees and Connection employees on their own flights
S3C: Connection employees
S4: Buddy Passes (Connection parents are at the bottom of S4, below buddy passes)
