you probably don't want to accumulate BA miles because of the hefty cash surcharges collected by BA on TATL award flights.
The AA ffp also collects surcharges using AA awards on BA flights.
Real taxes/regulatory fees are the same for all airlines flying the same route/class of travel.
Will 4-5 international flights be paid business class or does your employer require you to slum it down the back?
Upgrades are hard to get. And harder or impossible on ffp partner airlines. It does vary.
