Of the 3 I've only flown US J, but I would put them all on the same tier. I've heard IB is good product, decent food, horrible service particularly ground service. US is above average product, below average food, below average service, decent ground service. I know little about AB. Have only flown them in Y intra-Europe. Personally I wouldn't pay IB's fuel surcharges, reasonable as they may be, if US were available at ~$100 less per person per way. Now if IB is direct and US isn't, then that's a different story.
