That question can't be answered until AA comes out with how they are calculating RDM on partner airlines, which they have said will be by July 15. Until then, no one knows. I'm sure there will be plenty who may choose to speculate, if this..., if that... Just wait until AA announces how they'll handle it and do the math.
Oh and status may well matter, since those with higher status may well get bonus miles/points. You can probably find that out right now for Asia Miles/MP (I don't know that answer), but you will still have to wait until as late as July 15 to find out about AA.
Redemption levels also matter, which are available for both
Asia Miles/MP and
AAdvantage.
