If T or U level are available the ticket is a $150 ticket so not a concern. Generally easier for me to book the ORD-Japan and sort out how to get to ORD after the fact. Booking two tickets provides more flexibility. If AA changes the flight I only need to deal with AA. If JAL changes the flight I only need to deal with JAL. The goal is to keep the JAL flight intact at all costs...
