If you value all air miles about the same, then BA Avios is best, as you get 42% more of them than AA/AS/UA.
Very questionable results via that website. Starwood is worth 2.4-3 cents per on redemption. Hilton is worth .5 cents per. IHG is worth 1 cent per. Although not on that site Southwest airlines is worth 1.3 cents per. Avios may be lovely if you use for domestic US short haul redemptions. I just redeemed for 5.5 cents per via that method on BA. You'd be hard pressed to beat that redemption unless you redeem for the other majors to top off a biz/first class redemption.
