*A or Skyteam? I'm based in Sofia, BG

Hi,
I've been reading your forum for a while. I'm flying a lot, but I have a lot of difficulties with the FF programs.

I'm based in Sofia, Bulgaria (Eastern Europe).

I have the following accounts:
*A: Turkish airlines, 7,465 miles
SkyTeam: KLM/AirFrance, 11,320 miles
Oneworld: no miles
Emirates, 7,750 miles

Which program should I stick to?

Some people here are saying that I should stick with *A. and that FlyingBlue is generally not very good.

With in mind, what is your opinion on Turkish Miles and Smiles?

Also generally I have difficulties finding hotels and car rentals that are partners with either *A or SkyTeam. Do I have to search for partners of a specific airline (like KLM or Turkish)?

Also what tools are generally useful? I have the FlyerTalk app obviously, I have mileBlaster for mile status (very ugly and slow but it works, don't pay the $5 for paid version, doesn't give anything more).

I have apps for *A and oneworld but they generally suck.

I'll continue reading.

Best Regards,
