I previously had 41,000 Asia Miles, wiped out by Covid so now 0, JMB also 0, Avios 2250 so no Oneworld points total really.
I only have 31,000 Miles and More which I can't credit the Osaka trip to, so I'm wondering which Oneworld system to credit to.

In one way, Cathay makes sense with so many routes but as Japan is my preferred country to visit in Asia maybe I should use JMB.

Help!
If you were to credit ZRH-HKG-KIX-HKG-ZRH in Premium Economy to Iberia Plus, you would have oneworld Ruby (low-tier) elite status once you return to Zurich; don't know how valuable that would be for you. But you would be slightly more than half way to oneworld Sapphire (mid-tier) status.
