Which Star Alliance Airline program should I build status with?

I currently reside in Bangkok, Thailand. Home is NYC. Previously I was Platinum with AA for several years, then since the past 2 yrs Gold with SQ Krisflyer. I take several business trips and my wife, our son and would do at least 1 trip a year to the US and 2 others for vacations. Fave Airline is SQ and we try to use it as much as possible, however redemption taxes and mileage accrual through partner airlines is pretty strict/tough. I will make gold again through Krisflyer in another 3 months for sure. Wondering if I should switch to another airline FF program for myself. Also, what airline FF should my wife enroll into? Notice ANA has a family program. I also have a Amex Platinum both in the US and Thailand.
