Unhappy BA miles = AA Miles? Help .... my 416 mile Dilemma.

Hi guys. So a bit of a novice question, nevertheless...

I accumulated 416K points with AMEX.
Now .... programs I collect miles with are, AA, BA and CO.

Unfortunately AMEX does not transfer into AA, so my other option is BA with the current 50% bonus.

Question ... when redeeming miles. Is BA very similar to AA? So, whatever AA has available, BA would have the same at same number of miles??? Or will BA ask for more miles on the same flights AA might have?

When I called about CX first class to BKK, AA asked for I believe 150K miles while BA asked for a bit more I believe.

what's your take on this?
thanks.

P.S. ..... in near future want to fly to Tanzania (Africa) and Thailand. Which alliances will have better deals? those with CO (UA?) or AA/BA ?
