So, first step- sign up to *A? How do you guys choose which airline to book a flight with? Do you price shop? How does it work for you pros?

taking a look at your expected traveling pattern.. NY-FL/SEA/LA, IMO i think AA or Continental would be your best options. AA has hubs in both MIA and LAX= more flight options since those are the places you plan on going to alot. The thing about AA is that they don't have any other partner airlines in the US.

CO is about to join *Alliance. so this means eventually you don't necessarily have to fly them to earn miles. If it's cheaper on UA or US you can fly them and still get miles on CO.

up to you..
