Were those accounts in good standing or no?
If no, I'd recommend waiting to apply until your reports are a little bit cleaner.
Will you have completely derogatory-free reports at that point?
Clean reports are a bit more sensitive to new accounts - so you may want to limit the number of new accounts you get at once to minimize the score impact - and be prepared to Garden for a year afterwards so the new account penalties can fade (people fail to do this part all the time tho so...).
Other than that, just research before you app. Decide if you want travel rewards, cash back, or a low apr card (or one of each), if you're willing to pay an annual fee or not (and if so, will the fee be justified or offset by the rewards), and only apply for the cards that fit your spend and will be useful long term - avoid apping for the 'flavor of the month' if you can't make long term use of it.
Also keep in mind that if you want to get back in with those same creditors whose accounts were COd, you may have to wait a long time before they'll let you back in, if ever.
