Only you can determine your valuation of AA miles earned vs. price premium and adding hours of travel in each direction.
Got it. I found the "for" in your original post ambiguous.

Anyway, a quick check on GFlights shows that far and away the cheapest option is QR through DOH, which looks to earn at the same ratios as the more expensive BA and AY choices with comparable travel times.

Since no choice is the winner in all categories, as 3Cforme says you'll have to weigh cost / time / miles earned / convenience of nonstop to decide which of those -- or the CX flight -- is the best choice for you.

Also, if you have restrictions on departure or arrival times, that could rule out some of the choices.
