Sapphire v AAdvantage v Platinum ?

Which card sign-up combo would be the best:

Option 1)
Chase Ink Bold (60k Ultimate Rewards after spending $5k in 3 months) + Chase Sapphire Preferred (40k Ultimate Rewards after spending $3k in 3 months.

Option 2)
Citi Platinum Select AAdvantage World MasterCard (40k bonus miles after spending $3k in three months) + CitiBusiness AAdvantage World MasterCard (30k bonus miles after spending $1k in three months)

Option 3)
Platinum Card from American Express (75,000 Membership Rewards points after spending $3000 within 3 months) + Annual fee: $450

Thanks!

If you can meet then spending requirements, then do all three.

It matters on what you plan to do with the miles.

That's like saying "Should I get a Ford or a Chevy pick-up?" We need more details about what you want to do with them.
