The requalification threshold for *G on TK is lower, and this would give you more flexibility to then choose OW (and therefore use your AA Plat privileges). They are similar programs in that the *G requalification is low and award tickets are a pain to redeem, so if I were you I'd put there only the minimum amount of miles possible and still fly OW if it's convenient for you.
