A380 > Mid-J 744 by quite a bit (no WiFi, 744 IFE has good chance of being dodgy and not updated, cabin is smaller, A380 is just kind of nicer overall). Not 100% guaranteed to get upgrade on AS (though I've done SO many Y flights SEA-LAS-SEA it's not a huge deal, and the odds of an upgrade are very good).
I've never flown BA out of T3 and then gone to the CX lounge, but it's definitely a decent lounge
