Yes. You get elite bonuses and class-of-service bonuses on all CX (and other OW airline) flights, not only codeshares. See AA's CX earning table

Remember that AA will be yanking out the F cabins on the 777-200s used to Asia next year as they go two-class, and CX F awards seem to be increasingly hard to obtain (
source), so that 67,500 mile award (while still a bargain) is getting harder to redeem.
Still, I'd say AA makes the most sense for you, seeing where you live. In the past at least, CX awards were reasonably easy to obtain with AA miles if that's what you're after. Way better than SQ premium cabin awards with * partner miles.
