Need help finding new credit cards or selecting a go-to

My business spends on average $30K/mo.
About $5K are office supplies/telecom, so that's handled by Ink Bold.
Other bonus categories are minimal - adding up to about $1000/mo, if that.
The rest is non-bonus categories.
I've gone through the typical cards, hit all their spend requirements, and now need either something new, or just pick a go-to card and put everything on it.

These are the cards I currently hold


Amer Gold Premier
Amex Bus Gold
AmEx Bus Plat
Amex SPG Bus
Amex Bus Cash (2% CB)

Chase Ink Plus
Chase Ink Bold
Chase united
Chase BA Visa

Citi AA Visa
Citi ThankYou
Citi Preferred (5x drugstore one, open for now)
citi premier
Citi Simplicity

CapOne Profsnl (double miles)
CapOne Venture(double miles)

Barclays arrival


These are the cards I recently closed

Amex Gold
Amex PlatPers
Amex DeltaGld
amex Bus Gold
Amex Hilton Surpass
Amex SPG

Chase Sapphire
Chase united

Citi AA Amex

(if there are duplicates, it is because some cards were in my name, and some in my wife's)

All the cards that are opened have had their spends hit (i.e. $25K on United for bonus 10K miles, $30K on BA for companion cert).
Barclay Arrival was opened specifically for a $45K purchase that I'd like to pay off over a year with 0% - it was the best combo of sing-on bonus, rewards, and 0% APR.

We often like to go non-chain boutique hotels, so it's nice to have a card that allows straight travel redemptions, like CapOne. That's been my go-to card in the past. Should I keep it as the go-to, or pick something else?
