Expect no more than what is on the OW site
AA EXP = OW Sapphire
AA Gold = OW Ruby

Are you sure seat selection is not available with an UL economy seat purchase? Just because it is not with AA (or BA) does not mean other airlines operate the same way.
CX & QR may be other options for Sri Lankan. Airlines to/from home base tend to more expensive than an airline based in another country. Look at the OW web site map on line
