Right now, Ethereum is probably your most profitable coin with that card.

 Your cgminer issue might be bad configuration, or wrong driver(s) - I don't remember if cgminer supports OpenCL offhand (forget AMD Stream, AMD themselves dropped all Stream support almost 3 years back for ANY, and almost 4 for XP).

 You might need a different cgminer version for that matter, some of them were fairly specialised....

in terms of profitability Ethereum seems legit right now;
but your speed seems low; i'm getting that much out of a Sapphire dual-x R7 370;
get crimson 15.12; adjust your environment variables; use stratum pools (eth-proxy) with your ethminer;
also adjust --cl-global-work ; --cl-local-work in your .bat running the ethminer;

check this out as well https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.500 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.500)
it's been out a few days now! haven't tried it personally; will be testing it this next couple of days;
