Yes, I figured by now that we won't be saving much in terms of taking alternate transport.
The other issue is the baggage as you had suggested we do. Yes, I think you are correct as we hope to rationalize the baggage situation so as to not incur any of the luggage fees:

It is now unclear in my situation; that I will be charged "double" per piece if we have checked-in baggage at SJU. I could explain to the AA check in counter (in SJU) that our flights homeward flights are from STT to SFO and hope they give us a break and not charge us double.
SJU - STT (one way paid tix per person)
STT - SFO (AA miles redeemed per person)
