I can make three general comments that might help.
  1. If you fly 3,000+ mile segments in J regularly, then IB+ is very attractive because you receive far more value in "Elite Points" than value as "Tier Points"
  2. For the shorter flights, BA "Tier Points" are a bit better than IB+ "Elite Points"
  3. If you can get to IB+ Platino, that gets you 2 years of status. BA Gold only ever gets you one year (plus anything remaining in your first year qualifying...)
