AA is easier for the baggage drop (after clearing customs). DL has a drop, but it's often unmanned. I've been able to drop DL-routed bags at the AA or UA drop, but it's always an uneasy feeling.

I usually don't care much if it's AA or DL. If I fly AA, I can use the Admirals Club or Flagship (because arriving CX J or F). If DL, I can use SkyClub because of Amex benefits.

AA has many flights ORD to DTW, but sometimes the times are not as convenient as DL. But now, if the baggage check is going to be such a hassle then AA will be the winner.

AA will certainly be easier, as the MCT in this case would be just 2 hours. If you have CX GO or DM, I believe you can use the Flagship Lounge irrespective of travel class.
