Citi HHonors -> Citi AA

I have two Citi HHonors Visa cards (10K each) which I opened in March. My plan is to eventually cancel these (after waiting 6 months) and open two new Citi AA cards when an attractive bonus offer pops up. What should be my strategy -

1) Close both HH cards first, then apply for the AA cards

or

2) Apply for the AA cards and offer to close one or both of the HH cards to get AA approval

And I also have the no fee basic Amex HH card as my primary Hilton card which I plan to keep forever.

On a side note - is the 18-24 month Citi window for both the HH and AA cards together, or is there a separate window for each. I was thinking of alternating closing and opening on yearly basis HH -> AA -> HH -> AA -> .... That would get me 2 years between application dates for both the HH and AA cards.
