Personally I'm thinking of either AS or AY, being UK based.

I recently decided to do my best to avoid BA at all costs after their cold, disrespectful and uncompassionate treatment by their customer services during a family emergency, which was in stark contrast to VS and CX under similar circumstances.
Depending on your expected travel (routes, class of service), you might find it easiest to obtain OWS status by crediting to Iberia Plus.
