If airfares are roughly comparable across the major carriers, you'll probably want to end up flying some combination of AA/BA/US out of either MAN or LHR. There is service on AA/US between BNA and about half a dozen U.S. cities with nonstops to LHR, and between BNA and two or three U.S. cities with nonstops to MAN.
As to which FFP to credit those flights to, a lot depends on what you'll want to use your accumulated frequent-flyer miles for. If you want to use them for award flights between the U.K. and BNA, then you should almost certainly credit them to AA, because you can redeem AA miles for travel on AA flights with no surcharges. However, if you'd rather redeem your miles for award flights from the U.K. to elsewhere in Europe when you're not visiting your son, then crediting your AA/BA/US flights to BA makes sense, as BA's "Reward Flight Savers" offer exceptional value for travel between the U.K. and the rest of Europe.
