That's what I would do... most of your flights will likely be with connections anyhow. I end up using the branded card of whatever airline has the government contract between Cleveland and Dallas (currently AA, but it was UA at one point), since I few times per year, I will fly that airline whether I want to or not. I'm glad it is AA; it's nice to get nonstop flights every once in a while.
