If credited to jet airways (I fly them to BOM because they are the only direct flight with 1-2-1 business class), I will get 150% on transatlantic and 300% on Hawaii but doesn't add to tier miles (so no help with status).
Any suggestions on where I should credit (not just the above, but any other airline if better is fine) given my usual travel pattern? Mainly concerned as this booking has 3 travellers so a lot of miles - need to credit it to the right programme!
Note sure exactly sure what you mean by

If a code share with one airlines flight number and yet operated by another airline options on where to credit the ff miles can be very limited.
Flying a flight marketed by one airline (codeshare-flight number), operated by a second airline and crediting the frequent flyer miles/points to a third airlines ffp is always problematic. Usually only works if all three are in the same alliance (Oneworld - Star - Skyteam) or specific provision in the ff program rules. e.g AA miles or BA avios on QF marketed flight operated by EK. With non alliance partners even if the marketing and operating carriers are both partners to your ffp the codeshare does not always earn ff miles/points.
Who sold the ticket (ticket number) can make difference with some revenue based ffp's.
