Though which is 'easier' to earn I guess depends on a person's travel patterns - looks like (I say looks like, I am REALLY no expert) if you travel mostly in J and F you would get to Life Status far far quicker on QF (as F and J only earn 1.5 for status on AA), but if you fly a lot in Y it might be a different story.
AA Life Status is based on miles in account, not flown miles.

A partner e.g. credit card, that dumps 2,000,000 miles in a brand new AAdvantage account turns that account Platinum immediately, for the life of the AAdvantage Program.
