It's a personal decision, but I tend to get more value from 70,000 Marriott points than I do from 30,000 AA miles. (And I like and regularly use both of them.)
The greatest value in Marriott is reaching the Travel Package level (300,000-400,000 total points to redeem). If I felt like 70k was all I'd ever have to work with, the miles might look a *little* more appealing. But I think I'd still opt to redeem for hotel rooms unless I needed the 30k AA immediately for a large flight award.
