Nice file! It all depends on what you spend the most, also do you prefer cashback, rewards, miles etc.

I don't want anything special in terms of rewards as it is the first time I am attempting to go for a good CC. My basic want is to have a good CL. Any kinds of rewards or benefits are ok with me.

If you are qualified to join NFCU (Navy Federal Credit Union) and you are not too concerned about the rewards, then get a cashRewards CC from them. They are known for giving generous CL.

What cc's do you currently have and their limits? I'd also work on getting that util down if you want better terms.

Why not go for a top flight card? Everything looks to be in order and I would go for the AMEX BCE which will probably pull Experian. Also, you could go for Discover It. Neither of these charge a fee.
