None of them... feel free to use whichever!

If Staples or Office Max sell Amazon GC's, use the Ink Bold.
If your grocery sells them, use the Amex PRG.

I don't believe you have to have a checking account; I don't have one and was offered the Freedom Amazon bonus. You just have to register for the categories for the month.

The checking account offers an extra bonus on top of the rotating Freedom categories. Here is the verbiage:

As a Chase checking customer, you will also earn 1 bonus point for each $10 of net purchases (which equates to 10% of base points earned), and an additional 10 bonus points for each individual net purchase.

Unfortunately, I don't have a Freedom Chase CC.

You could just walk in and purchase for the 5x.

Or if you want 9x then go through UR mall (5x for using Ink Bold and 4x for the UR mall via Staples)

Amazon giftcards are not sold at Staples.com

I would use InkBold and buy instore.

Best options if you had the cards would be:
Amex Blue Cash using it at a grocery store for 6 points
Amex Hilton Hhonors using it at a grocery store for 6 points
Amex Hilton Hhonors using it at a drug store for 6 points
Amex Simply Cash using it at an office supply store for 5 points
Chase Ink Bold/Cash/Classic using it at an office supply store for 5 points
