Amex primarily, Discover for places that don't take Amex (which is a lot more than you'd think), Visa debit (through an investment broker, so it has much higher daily limits) as a backup for the above.

It sounds silly, but over time you realize those edge cases that are a pain in the ass if you haven't planned ahead (I need $1000 accessible via debit immediately because a family member has lost their wallet across the country and I need to Western Union them some cash to get home).

No, I totally get it. I have my work Amex for travel, my personal debit for all personal daily spending, and a Visa for the case where one of those cards doesn't work. I don't want to be stranded in another country without money just because my debit card got compromised and blocked.
