As a general rule, yes it is better value to book with the corresponding card, but it becomes useless unless you are able to hit the awards you want. If you travel a lot, then I'd recommend choosing the corresponding card, but if you travel lightly, I'd recommend finding a card that gives good value for all purchases.
