Although maybe you are asking where to put your miles for star flights only, and are already using other alliances too.
Yes, I am not necessarily trying to force everything into *A (and I do have accounts for other alliances), but based on my previous flights I usually ended up flying *A when booking for price & convenience. So it's at the moment the most relevant one and I am looking for one *A FFP to pool.
And about the SPG Amex points, yes I realized that there are other awards which are more cost effective than converting into airline miles, but I like the ability to transfer into multiple programs to be able to get awards without forcing additional expenditures to get the required mileage.
