Diversifying across programs

Looking for some advice. This past year i stayed around 220 nights across Marriott and IHG hotels. I am platinum in both programs. I like having status in both programs because pretty much no matter where i am, i can find a hotel with either brand. I am thinking of working Hilton into the mix> i havent been flying much over the past year so i'm finding myself rich in hotel points but poor in miles. Hilton would allow me to earn points and miles for the same stay which is appealing. I got a status match with Hilton and will probably stay enough nights to maintain top tier status with all 3 next year but i dont know if this is the best play. is 3 programs too many? should i focus on 2 and let my status with the 3rd fall off? what would you do if you were in my shoes?
