(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
(upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, extra baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, better award access, free - discounted lounge access, etc.)
Good award redemption rates or anything that can grant me a flight to Asia (mainly Japan) every one or two years.

(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in an airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
(AA Executive Platinum, UA 1K, LAN Comodoro, etc)
25000 in AA
9000+ in RBC Avion that I could convert to BA or AA
With 25,000 AA miles, may as well stay with AA. AA have good redemption rates and low co-pay fees, unless an AA award on BA aircraft (which will not apply USA-Asia). Be careful with the AA miles expiry rules. You need some activity every 18 months to stop from AA miles expiring
BA have high fuel surcharges on many awards, but are good for short haul awards
