To book a multi-partner ticket, it's 30,000 miles, to do it this way (separate reservations) is 13,500 miles.

My question is would US/AA be willing to combine the two tickets (assuming the name on both is the same, connection is legitimate, etc.) after purchasing it, or would I be risking a misconnect and getting stranded in LGA?
Unfortunately for this issue, the two airlines are still operating separately, with different software, rules, etc. Maybe next year?
