There is the caveat of having to do four BA segments in your qualifying year, but aside from that the rest can be on any oneworld airline. Not sure about others, but Finnair should be fairly popular option too, I believe.

There is a wealth of knowledge residing in the BA board on FT, so I suggest you dig around there for a bit - I believe there are several threads on comparisons between OW programs which will come up of you search.
