AA vs. BA for Mileage Awards

Few things I've learned from this trip....AAdvantage miles are much more valuable than BA miles. Why is that? I would think that for the same alliance, they would both allow me to book the same award ticket, but that does not seem to be the case.

Because, in my experience, BA SUCKS! Often rigid, unhelpful staff. CX & AA much more customer-friendly. LAN I won't even fly (1-time experience in AKL, but that was enough -- no response from LAN Customer Service ever).
