I will say CX DM first then SQ (or something else) later.
Being a *G, I truly understand that *G means nothing to SQ (It will be a different story if you are a PPS). Unless you travel with DJ (which SQ *G can have some benefit), your standard *G benefit is pretty much all you get, like other *G. The only thing good about SQ *G is F or J award seats (which are difficult to get for other *G).
Given that SQ *G is pretty much useless and the alternative you provide is CX, I will say CX will be a better fit in this case.
