I would go with AA for the time being.
Oneworld partners BA and CX offer premium economy, which earns 1.5 EQP in AAdvantage, same as business class. You'd get to top tier status rather quickly with a few TPAC flights in CX PE...
If you currently have no AA status, sign up for their Platinum challenge (call AAdvantage customer service for this, 1-800-882-8880) which will give you a quick route to mid-tier status (100% bonus mileage, lounge access....). Attention: To my knowledge, CX flights do not count towards the challenges (there are restrictions, and not all partners are eligible for challenges), so buy the AA codeshare which will qualify.
