As American Airlines and US Airways are still operating as distinct airlines, this question is being moved to the appropriate pre-merger airline forum.

Has AA changed their bird to the 763? I've flown this on a 752 international most recently last summer. Without look at the timetable, I think the 763 is used to BCN. As for the 752, it's what I call an 'almost' lie flat. From JFK, the IB flights are a 330 (early flight) and a 340 (later flight). The 340 in international business class was very similar to the 763 but I thought it felt more open. As for food, yo gosto comida de Espana, so I will say IMO the food is better on IB.
