Best Airline Miles Card - United Visa or Alaska Visa (or other)?

Thoughts on the best airline miles credit card? I currently hold the FUSA UA MP Visa, but am looking at the Alaska Air Visa. I am tempted to start pooling all my miles in Alaska’s program (even though I never fly Alaska) because of its numerous redemption possibilities. Specifically, Alaska allows redemption on AA, BA, CO, NW, KLM, Hawaiian, AND Qantus. It seems like these multiple partners would greatly increase the odds of getting reward travel to popular places when I want (e.g., Hawaii via AA, CO, NW, or Hawaiian; Europe via AA, BA, CO, NW, or KLM). Any thoughts on why you think the United Visa is still the preferable card to hold (aside from the fact that it allows travel on UA), or what other card out there is the card to hold? BTW, Alaska also participates in iDine, promotions with Sprint, etc. Also, I already hold the Starwood AMEX and use it whenever I can. Thanks in advance.
