A) 5 award nights to get me closer to Titanium? Allows me to get *marginally* better service and upgrade chances at Bonvoy hotels on my honeymoon.

B) 5 suite night upgrades? Allows me to have those suite upgrades with a pretty decent chance?

Seeing as how this is still early in the year and based on your travel patters are likely to hit 75 nights, I would say go with B, and when you hit 75 nights go with the free cat 1-5 certificate

the breakfast perk for leisure travel is my go-to. helps free up funds for other stuff, and relieves the stress of needing to hunt for a local spot to eat

Have had good success with the upgrade certificates lately but if you’re going on your honeymoon you might be able to get upgraded by telling the hotel / concierge that ahead of time.

Just wait last minute and make the call based on your status at that time. Nothing forces you to select your benefit immediately.
