We can probably can say this much: with six Frequent Flyer Programs, you will find yourself hard pressed - particularly with the trickle of miles from free sources - to ever use them. 30 miles or whatever from a quarterly or so opinionplace survey will take several lifetimes to count for much, never mind a 25,000 mile flight.
I suspect most here would agree that building up a "nest egg" of miles requires strategic thinking, and a bit of focus - difficult at best with six FFPs. You might want to think of a credit card, paid off monthly, dining with a FFP related dining program (AAdvantage Dining for AA, merely register, sign up for e-mails, register a debit or credit card, dine at affiliated restaurants, earn miles,) etc.
This thread will likely be allowed here, because you imply you are an AAdvantage member looking for ways of earning AAdvantage miles - but if you were merely shopping for a generous airline or general ideas, TravelBuzz! is a good forum for that kind of general discussion.
