If I do open a BA account, should I start allocating my MH flights to BA or would I be better off keeping those miles separate and redeeming them separately?
If only flying few or low number of flights it make no sense to have multiple overlapping ffp's (like OneWorld). You will not get enough miles/points/avios to use before they expire.

I would use your MH points and open a BA account. Credit all eligible flights to BA.
Or look for an award and only then transfer from the credit card
