Not that Jetstar can be any good... Other than baggage allowance the main benefit would likely be lounge access (you earn piddly miles on economy flights crediting to AA) but when I look at the OneWorld Lounge Access rules, it says there is only 1 lounge for OneWorld and ONLY Qatar, Malaysia and Cathay flyers can use it...
Yea, looking at the oneworld website it appears that QF doesn't provide access to the lounge in DPS, so this is really a moot point.
That said, even if QF did provide access, I can tell you with 110% certainty that the DPS lounge is NOT something I would ever in a million years consider paying double the airfare to get access to.
It's a typical 3rd party lounge. I've used it twice departing DPS on QR, perfectly 'ok' spot to plop down for 20 mins before your flight and grab a bag of pretzels and a beer, but nothing more.
Last time I flew Air Asia out of DPS, no lounge access and I survived. Just go to a bar in the terminal.
