Summary: 

I can only speak of my recent trip, but the preffered card in Europe
seemed to be VISA followed by AMEX. One GREAT thing I can say about
using AMEX is that the exchange rate is usually the bank rate on the
2day of exchange. While in France, the exchange rate was moving around
9.10 - 9.40 FF/Dollar. My latest bill had the exchange rate at
9.46 and 9.48 FF/Dollar. Since I made some sizeable (>$100) purchases,
this really paid off.
