Doubt if you will do any better. BA & EK (and there partners) seem to cover most of your flights.
QF has EK & BA as ff partners, but would not recommend the QF ffp.
EasyJet & RyanAir, being low cost carriers don't really do ffp's.
BA have family pooling, which would benefit you.
You cannot move the ff miles/avios you have now to another ffp.
Low cost fares are tending to earn few ff miles, especially if not on your ffp’s own airline, but it depends on the ffp. Some economy fares do not earn 100% on any airline ffp. They can earn nil ff miles, even if flown on the airline of your ffp.

I would not chose flights on the basis of a ffp. Choosing on price & schedule is better IMHO.
Thanks Mwenenzi, I appreciate the response. I'm currently trying to decipher BA's Executive Club/Avios/Oneworld puzzle. I think they should use people's understanding of FFP schemes instead of IQ tests...
I think I will have to come up with a crazy spreadsheet to work out if it's worthwhile or not, but I suspect you are right when you say to just choose flights based on price.
