BoA vs. Chase vs. Huntington - checking account to augment rewards credit card

Let's say I have a rewards credit card from each of Bank of America, Chase, and Huntington National Bank, and I want to open a checking account with one of them to go with their credit card.

 

Bank of America:  10% extra cash back if redemmed into a BoA checking account (e.g. 3% on gas becomes 3.3%)

 

Chase:  10% extra points once a year.  (I'm not clear how this works)

 

Huntington:  ?????

I haven't found a way to set up Auto-Pay for my Voice Credit Card statements.  Is a Huntington bank account required to do so?  Or is it not even possible?

 

So!

 

Let's say I can only pick 1 of these 3 banks to open a checking account with.  If I have enough cash to qualify for interest-yielding accounts, which 1 should I pick?  And conversely, if I don't want to store a large sum of cash and want to go for the no-fees but no-interest route, which 1 should I pick?
