I prefer BA. For LAX you’ll most likely be looking at an A380 or super-hi J 747, both of which have good IFE and are more comfortable than AA’s 777s.

AA economy seats are not only narrower that BA ones on these aircraft types, they also barely have any headrest, only a very slim one which doesn’t make any difference for me (I’m 6”2). BA, on the other hand, have bigger and more adjustable headrests.

I agree that BA’s crews are typically friendlier and more approachable, which does make a difference on such a long flight. On my most recent LAX trip I woke up seven hours into the flight and went to the galley to ask if I could have a cup of tea. Two lovely crew members responded with a warm “of course”, a couple of biscuits and a long chat.
