Looking for advice on how to best manage my email platforms.

Currently I have 1 gmail account and 2 iCloud addresses. Currently I use gmail for everything like personal email, forum registrations, newsletters, mailing lists etc but want to switch over to iCloud because I like and prefer the integration with all my Apple devices. I use iCloud for contacts, calendar, etc.

I want to try to minimize having too many account across 2 different platforms but I don't mind having 1 account in each platform.

I know for Google stuff like YouTube, G+, blogger I need to keep using my gmail/Google account. I'm not sure if I should just use my Google account for Google account only for Google stuff and switch everything over to iCloud like personal, forums, newsletters and mailing lists.

Any advice?
