I assume the choice is between buying a cheap ticket on QF and upgrading with AA miles. . .</font>
There are no upgrade awards on QF using AA miles. QF does have companion awards using AA miles, for example, if you purchase a business class ticket on QF you can fly a companion in business for 80k AA miles to AKL. Considering the normal business class award to AKL is 105k, I don't think the companion award is that good of a deal. For 115k you can fly QF in business via Hawaii.
