Earn to burn is what matters. BA awards are zone-segment based.

At AA saver rates award availability is nominally the same for all OW airlines, but is does seem to vary a little.
Look here in the AS forum for the thread especially for AA refugees

Yeah, the BA award chart is what makes me queasy. Even with the Chase buy-one-get-one redemption certificate it's still a struggle (I'd like to access partner F once and a while). Thanks for the help!
