The bad news is that you will not find a single credit card that does it all.
Given that you must use a Corp AMEX, the nest/knot is still a great choice.
Fidelity AMEX is a debit card. It does not show on your credit report. The question is not "Do I need another AMEX". The correct question is "Do I need the benefits". I do not spend a dime on my Fidelity AMEX Platinum.
As for Starwood SPG... Decide on what your final reward objectives are: AA miles, United miles, SPG, Hilton Honors? Pick a card that will help you achieve that goal and has a reasonable fee (SPG AMEX, United Visa, Hilton AMEX/Visa, Diners). If you cannot decide on one, then go with CashBack, e.g. Fidelity Visa or Chase Freedom Visa Signature.
