Best Frequent Flyer Program for NYC based flyer?

Hi everyone, I have some travel coming up and I wanted to start focusing my travel into ways I will get the most rewards. A bit of background. I am based out of NYC and have access to a number of airlines. My future vacations will tend to be international. Greece/Turkey, China, Japan and maybe back to Argentina/Brazil. I currently am using a Chase Freedom card and also have the capital one venture card. My goal is to the chase sapphire preferred in Jan as well as the Ink bold so I will be building up a number of miles in my UR account which I can transfer to specific carriers. I also tend to use Avis for car rentals and know that I can accumulate miles from those rentals as well. My question is given my goals which FF programs would be good to join. Also, which hotel programs would be ideal. I am trying to map out a plan that I can follow over the next few years to make sure that any travel I do undertake will benefit me in the long run. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
