I found a couple others but wanted to get the Money Board opinion on what's the best rewards card out there right now.

It depends on what you want out of it.

Do you travel? If you fly a lot or stay in hotels for work or anything, look into one of those

If you can't decide, get two -- a cash back card and a travel card. That's the way I started out with Discover 5 percent rotating categories and Southwest Visa

Or you could always start out with Chase Freedom, which is a solid cash back card with the rotating categories (8 months out of the year gets you 5 percent back on gas and 4 months at restaurants) then at some point down the road get the CSP and switch your Ultimate Reward points over from Freedom to the CSP (+ bonus points) and spend it on travel
