Some of the hotels and rental car companies reward you with additional advantage miles, and i want to maximize rewards. I have no idea which hotels and car rental companies have the best offers for someone like myself and would like your suggestions on where to start.
Welcome to flyertalk! You might want to post this question over in the American Airlines forum, since you'll be flying there exclusively. Since your travel is business related, it's not technically an MR, I think.
You'll find that most folks are pretty helpful. While you wait for advice, I'd read some of the "stickies" in both this forum and the AA and other forums. Those are lists of frequently asked questions & discussions. I'm pretty new here myself, and I still have a lot of reading to do.
For the rental car, you might consider calling the rental company directly and explain you'd like to get the same car every time. Tell them how much you'll be traveling. I think they'd be happy to do something to accomodate you to get your business.
