1) I would definately go for AMEX. Get the Green charge card first. 6-12 months, get BCE. (for everything cashback)
2) Since you have high EQ score, try Citi Dividend Platinum Select. It's just like freedom with rotating 5% and $100 cash back (for place that doesn't take Amex)
3) Chase Freedom. Get in the door. Garden some... 12 months, get CSP (for travel).
Current Score: Amex Plus (02/13): 728 EX, 728 EQ, Discover LP (03/13): 731 TU, Walmart TU08 (06/13) 738
