Are you a member of both QF ffp & BAEC now?
How long will you be in UK for? A short time (few years) or for ever?
As well as the 4 own airline flights for BA or QF status you need to be careful with expiry of avios/points
The airline you fly most or an airline of the country you live is the best ffp for many people. Generally you are better earning on your primary airline due to greater recognition, better service when disruptions, ability to upgrade flights and possible operational upgrades. Freq flyer miles/avios/points from non flying activities is a good earner for some people.
