Welcome to FT!

I think you already have a good plan: have one account at each major alliance (AA at OW, UA at *A, DL at ST) and credit the flights there.

Whenever you can influence the choice of airline, steer towards *A. (My primary FF program is at AA, but you said it is not a player in your market.)

If possible work out a deal that you'd buy your own tickets and get reimbursed. Then you can get credit card miles too.

For the hotels, best to join the hotel programs themselves.
