A quick look at
www.wheretocredit.com shows that the QF flights credit 100% to AS, so that's pretty much a no-brainer, but the others are a puzzle. The KL & AF flights only credit 25% to AS, but 50% to DL. The GA flights seem to credit 25% across the board.
I don't have a Skyteam program at the moment and only have a small balance on AS. I am not loyal to any airline or alliance and have no status anywhere. I just go where the cheapest fares are.
Is it worth opening a DL account and burning the miles on rental cars, or should I just tip all of the AF & KL flights into AS at 25%?
QF, AA & DL and some others in Skyteam are partners of AS.

A small amount of miles (even at 100%) in an ffp are nil value if you do not get enough to use before they expire. [DL miles do not (currently) expire]
Miles at 25% earning are more value if they can be used.
QF is a poor ffp, with high miles/points & high cash award co payments
For example to me 2 QF points has less value than 1 AA mile. See post 330 in this thread
Miles/points are not equal to earn or burn
