You can credit to either airline. Do you have miles with either? Do you have a personal preference for either airline based on past experience? Where else do you fly?

LeMeridien and Westin are part of the Starwood family. Do you have any personal preference?

Personal preferences. Where else do you travel or want to travel to? Have you read about the elite programs for US/UA and Hyatt/SPG (I have no familiarity with Sofitel and Kimpton)? Does anything seem appealing to you?
