Operating carrier would be LAN either way. Have zero status on LAN or QR
On the flip side what is the redeem rate? What will you do with these QR points? A very simplistic measure is how many flights on one route to get that same flight as an award.
In Oneworld the marketing carrier (flight number) determines earning, if an ellgable flight

Qatar Privilege 3 years (hard) Q miles are valid for a minimum period of 3 years & will expire twice a year. Refer to link. Qmiles doesn't expire for Platinum members
Having multiple ffp’s with low balances is never a good idea. You never get enough ff miles/points to be of use before they expire. FFP’s are for the long term. However at times it makes sense to have a ff membership with an airline in another alliance. (e.g. Oneworld & Star)
