AA charges 12,500 each way for flights within the US / Canada, thus 25,000 round trip. I would accrue ~ 10,000 miles (at 0.5 in N), so would not have enough to redeem for any flight without further activity.
If there is some way for your transfer miles to AS then AS would be a better choice. With AS you would get enough for a one-way without even a transfer. Do either of them have a Canadian CC card?
