However, maintaining status will be a consideration and so I am interested in opinions concerning the best FFP strategy. Also, do either have a credit card in Canada? Many thanks!
Personally, I would use BA as the program if you fly them often. If you can get someone to book you into Y+ then upgrading to business is good value.

And yes, there is a BA credit card in Canada:

Of course you end up with the BA redemption fees for award flights but you win in other areas.
