BA currently imposes no fuel surcharge for award travel on AA within North America, or between North America and South America. And BA permits free, en-route stopovers on award travel -- even on partners.

I don't think BA imposes a fuel surcharge for travel on AS, either.

For domestic travel, BA miles are best for Coach redemptions on AA/AS flights, because BA charges three times the Coach redemption rate for F awards, even on two-cabin aircraft. (Business Class, where offered, is available at twice the Coach redemption rate.)
There was a thread BA imposing YQ on all intl AA flights when you make a booking over the phone:
