SQ is not a bad place to hold miles....Hawaii.....great cancellation policy.....among others

Depends what you're going to use them for. For example: for USA-TLV, USA-USA, and USA-Hawaii, SQ is better.

Aeroplan is instant from MR, no need to keep them there speculatively.

Iinm Singapore has a better cancelation/change policy on the other hand you have to putpac to book with Singapore but you don't with aeroplan.

If you have infant, definitely Aeroplan

So the only down side of keeping points in SQ is that you cannot keep it alive after 2 years?.

And that they are stuck in SQ if you need then for anything else.

I don't think that helps. Points expire after 18 months of no activity and 3 years regardless of activity.
