Big Purchase incoming( $4000-$6000) - Which card bonus?

I have a big purchase coming up in early October.  I'm looking to maximize the bonus rewards as much as possible.  Any suggestions for the best card for this purchase in terms of sign-on bonuses?  I know for sure I want the CSP (40,000 points) eventually.  If there is nothing else out there, I would probably go with that.  

 

Now that I'm thinking about it, maybe even splitting the purchase among two cards...hmm.

 

Thanks!

Off the top of my head, the highest sign-up bonuses:

 

1.  Chase Ink Plus 70,000 in branch.

2.  50K Airline Miles - SW, UA, AA.

3.  70K Marriott or 25K SPG.

4.  40K CSP, 40K Arrival Plus

 

I'd try to spread the bonus between 3 cards, the final being US Air 40K, if the spend requirements become an issue.
