Here is the problem. I think that #1 is the best use of BA miles for me and you say it should not be used.
I am on West coast with a home airport of LAX, I have a family of 3, I like to goto Europe and rtavel in J or F, It is realively easy to find a flight on BA with 3 avaiable tickets in F, and I pay some in Taxes, I have a difficult time finding 3 tickets on AA in J or F, usually 2 are easy but three becomes difficult, so i dont mind paying 700 in taxes each and 300k miles using a 2-4-1 chase to get 3 RT tickets to LHR in F.
best is very subjective
