Welcome to Flyertalk Crittercrazy, and welcome in particular to the BA board. It's good to see you here, and I hope you can continue to play an active part in this forum. Welcome on board.
I'd guess the advantage of the USA address is potentially the link to Chase and any other US based reward schemes, whereas with a UK / Northern Ireland address one may have access to Avios.com and Tescos. If you're only getting Avios from flying and hotel stays, I am not sure it makes a whole lot of difference. In terms of set-up, if you think in Euros or US Dollars then I guess it's easier to work with the BAEC version that works for you, though it can be readily swapped over.
