From your routes, looks like you could get away with the star alliance continental/united. Miami seems like the only one that is more limited.

For the international stuff, especially if you are going to asia, seems like the star alliance might be better. Singapore Air, Thai, United, etc etc.

I suppose one angle you might try is to pay for the status match on one of the star alliance where you do a 90 day challenge. Do it when your hong kong trip is scheduled and you could get the benefits sooner.
