Which AMEX card to get?

So a Costco just moved into town. We go to Sam's Club already regularly but the wife wanted to check out Costco today and we did. She loved the place.
They only take AMEX For CC, and all I have is an AMEX blue I've had for years and had thought had probably expired to be honest with you, but it still works. Signed up for a membership and shopped with it, but figure I would get an AMEX card with some return.
Back in January got a Barclay's World Arrival MC and love the 2 points on all purchases. With the 40K they give you for signing up, I'm over 100K already.
AMEX card options? I'm open to whatever. I've considered, and mentioned on here before about the Delta one, simply because it's my carrier with the most flights and I fly the most. But I don't fly that much, a couple of times a year for work and once personal. Might go up a bit in a year or so, but not a lot.
What does the wisdom of the MT board have for me?

I recently got the Gold Rewards card. 3% on airline tickets and 2% on gasoline and groceries with 1% on everything else. Please note that stores like Costco fall into the 1% category.
The nice thing about Amex points is that you can transfer them to any one of about 20 travel partners and there are periods during the year when you can get a bonus to your points transfer.

You want points or cash?
Amex blue cash preferred is my favorite card
6% at grocery stores
3% at gas stations and dept stores
1% everywhere else
That's cash back too, don't have to worry about redemption restrictions or anything
75 annual fee but easily worth it IMO

Costco takes debit cards, you don't have to have a CC to shop there

DON'T get the Fidelity Amex. It has 2% cash back on everything, BUT they have a VERY strict fraud detection program. In the month I've had the card, I had it locked down twice. Once for having more than 3 quick charges to Amazon and once for buying foreign train tickets. Reviews on Fidelity show this is a common problem with the card.

I have the Hilton honors Amex. Really paid off when I was traveling a lot for work and using it at hilton locations. Not so much now on regular purchases because Hilton points don't stretch very far.
