If you're going to have an Amex charge, you might as well go for the PRG. You can easily get $100 back right away in airline or Amazon gift cards, effectively making the AF $95 which is the same as the Green cards, but with better MR earning potential.

^^^^^ This. As previously noted, anecdotally the charge cards are easier to get. I've read on other forums (over a long period of time) where AMEX CSR's have commented (take this with a grain of salt ) that there are different underwriting criteria for the charge cards vs the revolving credit cards, and that charge cards are easier to get. But there's no difference in underwriting criteria for the charge card group of cards.
Always YMMV.
I wonder what the credit score requirements are for the charge cards, and I also wonder what AMEX weighs more heavily when making the credit decision.

And those two answers are in the forums if you search for them.
