Hi all, would appreciate some help selecting a Oneworld FFP.

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Reply:Good mileage redemption rates

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
Reply: 15-50, depending on the year

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?

(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in OW or other airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
Reply: Air Canada (no preferred Oneworld airline at the moment)

As you can see I have a small amount of miles in a couple of different OW FFPs. Trying to figure out what to use going forward. I'm considering mostly AAdvantage and Avios because of my Amex MR points. I would like to capitalize on a few "mini-RTW" trips but not necessarily in J class - Y would be fine. Seems like this would be good for AAdvantage. However, I will also be wanting to do some short trips around Europe which favours Avios. Struggling on picking one, or maybe I should gradually build up both of them?
