It's best to compare the reward charts for the flights for which you want to redeem miles. BA awards permit multiple, en route stopovers; AA awards do not. BA awards require payment of fuel surcharges if the airlines flown on the awards impose them. I believe that AA awards are free of fuel surcharges, regardless of airline flown. And oneworld awards generally require fewer AA miles than BA miles.
