I don't really know what advice to give you for the Westin.
Do this (above) for the Hyatt.
For Princeville, both of you should consider applying for the AMEX SPG card. Card is free 1st year. Plus, you can easily combine points by transferring at no cost.

If you can find a 5k referral bonus, one sign up and refer the other.
Also, consider the Princeville St. Regis in addition to the Westin.
Both are SPG.
