So the no fee, 0.5% cash back BMO card is still the best deal for me.

It would be a different story if I could charge business expenses on my personal credit card.

This also card also gives you Auto Rental Coverage, so the $60 is reasonable, if you rent cars in the US, and don't want to pay the conversion fee.
