BA earns 20/35/70 TP in economy as well, broadly aligned with AY.

Someone just mentioned that I should be using the marketing carrier to determine Avios and TPs. If that is the case and AY's summary page shows AY 5996 as a T-fare, why would I use BA's values? Of course, I would love to use BA's values as it's significantly higher than AY's.
