We will be a party of three, and it would be great if an award-return on CGN-LHR could be had with the miles I get from this trip. Could top off with Amex points if needed...
If award space is available for CGN-LHR-CGN on your anticipated dates of travel, then crediting your AA flights to newly-created BAEC accounts (one for each passenger) and redeeming for Reward Flight Saver awards makes the most sense.
Edited to add:
Here's what the pricing looks like for a one-way CGN-LHR Reward Flight Saver redemption with BA Avios:
Of course, one should always compare the cost of a redemption to the cost of a cash flight with comparable benefits. (Redemptions on BA include a free checked bag in Economy Class; HBO cash fares do not.)
