I would fly in on a Domestic flight and then pick up checked in luggage and then go to International Departures.
If your positioning flight were to get cancelled or significantly delayed, would you be able to get to either JFK or ORD by ground transportation/one-way car rental/flight on a different airline in time to make your international flight?

Note that if your domestic flight were on AA, and your international flight were on any oneworld carrier (including AA), AA's current policy is to protect you in the event of IRROPS -- even on separate tickets.
