What fare booking class are you travelling? Will not be Y booking class
Where to Credit | Where to Credit Iberia Flights
Where to Credit | Where to Credit British Airways Flights
BA and IB are owned by the same company, IAG, and both use avios as a common ff currency, But there are differences in the ffp's
Upgrades will be very hard to get on cheap tickets, not matter if AA BA or IB ffp. Cross airline upgrades are much much harder.

USA based airlines are more generous with upgrades.
With AA you could do a status challenge for a $$ fee. Given the number of flights you do may be worth the $. Mid tier AA status would get you lounge access on international itineraries.
