for PDX<>FLL, I’d choose on the basis of a balance between cost and schedule
I've flown both AA and AS domestic F often over the past few years and the above is about all you need to know. There are small differences in the food, wine, seat pitch, etc., but the point about service on AA versus AS being entirely dependent on how an airline staff person's day is going is spot on.

Yes. If the fare on an AA ticket drops you can call them and ask for a travel credit. It will appear in your AAdvantage account. I don't know if AA can issue travel credits without an AAdvantage account like AS can. I don't have an AS account and they simply email me a travel credit voucher. I've never needed to do this with AA since I've had an account with them since long before electronic vouchers became a thing..
