I'm leading towards the latter, although it makes for a long day, although we should be able to get a little sleep on the 9 hour inbound flight. I'm concerned both about my inbound flight delay and immigration/checked baggage/terminal transfer, T5 security timing.
I would go with the 4hrs later option. Unless on one ticket you'll need to trek with bags to T5 and checkin there. AA will not through check across tickets.

PS this is DL forum. However a lot of us have experience with multiple carriers @ JFK.
