Chase Sapphire or United Explorer for 1K

I've been looking around these forums and trying to gauge which card is the best to pick up. Little background here- I currently have an Amex Gold Rewards Plus that I've had for a number of years. I am Platinum on Starwood, Presidents Circle on Hertz, and 1K on United. Is there a particular card out there that will work best main for miles that accumulate toward United? The Amex goes 1:1 into *Wood and after the UA/CO Merger there isn't much I can do for the Airline portion anymore.

That being said, Is the United Milage Explorer card worth it for a 1K or is there a better one out there like the Sapphire. The Annual fee is something that I will take into consideration but as long as its not absurd, it will be ok.

Advice?
