AA PLT benefits when flying on BA

I am about to make a booking for PHL-LHR. There are direct flights available on both AA and BA metal.

If I fly on AA metal, it's pretty straightforward: I would get guaranteed 100% EQM earning and can select MCE during booking (Except that the plane would be an A330 which lacks MCE).

If I fly on BA metal: I believe I would still get 100% EQM if I book it as an AA codeshare. I can't get a clear answer on if I can select WT+ during booking (or if I should expect WT+ at all without paying extra for it). The plane would be a 777 outbound and 767 inbound.

With all else being equal, what would you recommend?
