Options I'm considering:
- AA (no status, have ~7k miles): could use the files for some domestic travel in US
- BA (no status, 0 miles): could transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards in the future to supplement and book travel
- QR (no status, 0 miles): not even sure when I might fly next on Qatar

I would probably go for AA. Since you already have miles there, and if you are not a very frequent traveller, splitting between Oneworld programs just means you get nowhere in terms of potential awards.

QRs own program har prohibitively expensive redemotions and very few redeeming features.
