How to split time between Hotel Programs?

I'm having a bad time managing my time.

I'm Platinum with Marriott and PC, Diamond with Hilton. They all have properties where I travel.

I have 10,000 Marriott points (just redeemed 140,000)
I have 160,000 HH points (plus I get 6750 points/week from Budget)
I have 108,000 PC points

Marriott has the Mega Bonus - spend 25 nights, get 40K points
Hilton has double points
PC has all sorts of addons, Double Points, Anniversary bonus, Stay X get Y points Chase bonuses.

Since I just redeemed Marriott, I feel like I should build the balance up again, but it is tempting to stay at PC to get all the bonuses and really get points. Hilton, could really accelerate with the Budget promo.

If I do Marriott, I feel like I will be missing out on better points. Of course, I can't do everything, although I did a mattress run at a Holiday Inn in the end of June to get Stay 3, get 5,000.

So, my question is, with these balances, and status, how would you play it? Alternating between the three is not an option since the Mariott bonus would not kick in.

Thx
