For Coach travel to Hawaii, BA Avios (which can be obtained by converting Amex MR points -- sometimes with a transfer bonus -- or by converting Chase UR points) offer the best value. Avios can be redeemed online for travel on AA, and by phone for travel on AS. For First Class travel to Hawaii, use AA or UA miles.

For travel to Europe or Australia, AA or UA miles will offer good value. Just note that when redeeming AA miles to Europe, you must avoid long-haul flights on BA metal, or you'll be hit with hefty surcharges that will dilute the value of your redemption.
