I am about to be downgraded to Silver QF, but regularly fly MAS and BA so not sure what is the best way to get back to Gold on any of these 3 programs.
QF Gold and MH Gold is oneworld Sapphire.
BA Gold is oneworld Emerald, BA Silver is oneworld Sapphire.

Each program has different qualification requirements, so you can't generically compare them. BA and to a lesser extent QF are easier to earn status flying in premium classes, whereas MH is based on miles.
It really depends on which airlines, routes and fare classes you typically travel in.

The OP referred to QF Silver and getting back to Gold, so I presume they mean oneworld Sapphire.
