Should I go for the AA challenge? and/or can I cherry pick and selectively give my AA, BA or CX membership number depending on which carrier&sector I am flying?

Thanks for helping!!!!
It depends what you want to do. Maintaining status in three mileage programmes within the same alliance seems to me inefficient for most travellers. I think most people would consolidate their mileage and status earning into one programme. But that is a wider question than one particular RTW trip.
