It looks like the OP, as a oneworld Sapphire elite member, is entitled to free same-day standby on AA flights -- no flat-tire rule or agent mercy necessary:

I would probably book the later AA flight, and if I got through Immigration and Customs quickly enough, I would try to standby for the earlier AA flight.
