I think Skyteam (Air France in particular from my experience) takes better care through immigration/customs and really makes for a better experience
I remember BRU customs were a nightmare (long lines) one time but I had a AC Concierge wait for me and she got me thru customs at the beginning of the line .. maybe that's a solution for tight connections ...
