Post devaluations, what is the best spending card?

With most credit cards and FF programs devaluing benefits this year, as we look to 2014 and beyond, what is the best card for daily spending? Say someone spends $40,000 a year on a card across a mix of travel, restaurants, shopping, etc.

Is it

Amex PRG
Chase Sapphire
Chase Freedom (Or Discover or any other major cashback card)
Barclays Arrival
Some other airline card
Etc

Say the user is NYC based and is agnostic about airlines/hotels (semi frequent flyer and will fly whatever airline is the cheapest)
