You can read a trip report about this particular flight here.

I think AA's soft product is better but the IB seat is at less of an angle and seemed to be much closer to flat than AA's current C. Not sure how big of an issue differences in soft product are or how much angle matters to you. If closer to flat seats are your preference, IB, if soft product matters much more than angled -lie-flat slop, then AA.
