I vote for Chase Sapphire Preferred and the SPG as well. They are both great cards and allow for a lot of flexibility in how you want to use them.
If you are going to be traveling a lot, and don't have direct flights all the time, it could be very worthwhile to pick up the Citi AA 100k offer or something similar that has lounge access. Granted, they have annual fees, but if you spend enough time in an airport, you'll really start to value the access to lounges.

The citi hilton reserve card has been very valuable to me. While not everybody loves hilton, and won't be shy telling you about it, I have had good luck with the gold status. I suppose the free breakfast isn't the biggest of deals to you, as i assume your company will be paying the bill on that anyway, but I have noticed much better recognition of Hilton gold than SPG gold, which I have as well. I would get a hilton card if you plan on staying at hiltons on anything more than an infrequent basis. The free weekend night each anniversary (assuming you hit 10K annual spend) is a nice bonus as well.
