Just look at burn rate & the fees needed for a QF reward flight compared to AA. Only QF advantage is you can upgrade eligible QF flights. But a straight out AA J reward is competitive to the QF points needed for a J upgrade.

Who is paying for/choosing the airline the USA-Aust flights ?

Not an AA site: http://flyerguide.com/wiki/index.php/Challenge_%28AA%29
Most depend on travel class IMO, if mainly business I'd go with BA considered it allows to earn full avios and TP on any AA flight. With economy is more difficult:
AA has the unknown factor of the merger that may change aadvantage scheme.
QF doesn't seem a good FFP but if he is going to stay only one year in the US and then come back to Aussie it could make sense to join it
