If you insist, Asia Miles is a better choice.

The problem is mile expiration of each of the programs. AM has recently changed its policy, from 3-year use or lose to 18-month no activity. So in theory, you can keep the miles active as long as you can. On the other hand, KF is still 3-year use or lose, which means that you have to use them all around 3 years of transfer.

Given the current uncertainty (inadmissibility of Hong Kong, limited to no service, etc.), AM is a better choice.

But SQ's F is definitely better than CX F.
