Following that I would take United, American or JetBlue points.

Does selecting one of these airlines points programs for my Qatar Airways flight reduce my point earning potential or is it 1:1?

If it was reduced, I suppose I could transfer to other avios (like BA) but my preference would be to earn with a NA based carrier.

Thanks for your help!
My guess is if you want to credit to NA based airline, your best bet would be AA. But dont forget BA Avios (and you can transfer easily from Qatar Avios to BA Avios once you link the accounts) is quite good for domestic One World (e.g. AA) flights in the USA
