Sign Up for AS Visa or Use My Chase Reserve?

I carry the Chase Reserve card. I fly Alaska first class about 6 times a year from Los Angeles to New Jersey (avg $1,500) each trip.

Should I continue to use the Chase card with the multiple points awards for purchases, or sign up and get the Alaska card and use it for these trip purchases?

Does the one-time 40K miles, annual companion fare, and 3x mileage outweigh the 5x points and valuable Chase Portal?

In other words, Are my dollars better spent building Chase points, or building Alaska Airlines points?

Appreciate opinions/advise.
