Regarding CX's and AA's 77W cirrus product, essentially they're the same as AA licensed the design from CX.

The hard product advantage AA would have is their offering of Bose headsets to J pax (no benefit if you already have your own).

AA's trim on the seat looks more pleasant but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Also, AA's seat control buttons are typical squishy "bubble" plastic buttons which are really finicky and annoying - like on a typical J seat.

CX's seat control buttons are similar to those on a car seat, push/tilt forward and back to adjust the seat - much more intuitive and easier to use.

However, CX's seats are starting to look a bit tired these days
