Do you prefer Diners or AMEX for the travel benefits? I'd lean toward diners simply because it's accepted at more places now, but I'm not sure if there are little insider things that you all know from experience that isn't obvious to an outsider looking in.
I think you'd need to compare the benefits of Diners vs. Amex based on where you go and what you do. For me, Amex has provided better service and benefits that more closely align to my travel needs. YMMV.
