International First - AA vs BA

Am looking at F to Continental Europe next year, fares are reasonable (yes I get that this is “business plus”) via LHR and am debating AA metal vs BA on the first JFK-LHR leg. (Will prob stick with BA on return)
How do the two compare these days?
  • Preflight dining - CCR vs FFD? I’d like to try FFD before it disappears (?)
  • Will have to change terminals in LHR if I choose AA so that’s a clear negative but there’s an extra 30m connection if I take AA metal.
  • Do I get CCR access going from AA F -> BA J?
  • Is one seat much better as a bed? BA has better privacy, no?

I will mostly sleep ex-JFK although for that reason maybe I should just stick with J on the outbound and save the $$…
