Comparing the two products, I would say JAL was superior in about every aspect, better food, more comfortable seats and so on.
OW crediting is according to marketing carrier (=flight number), not operating carrier. You should therefore get a good amount of points.

JAL had some excellent whY fares for sale a few weeks back, but I didn't book because of the low mileage.
