Best Oneworld for SIN based, non-so-frequent flyer

Hi all,

I'm based in SIN and I fly mostly SQ, but for an upcoming trip to Orlando my company has booked me on AA for the JFK-MCO leg.
My default option would be to credit the miles to my pre-existing QFF account, but that is on empty and I've read lots of good stuff about AAdvantage in general.
So my question is this, for someone who rarely travels on Oneworld and even then mostly in the AsiaPac/Australia region, would an AAdvantage account be significantly better than QFF?
