Also, you can claim miles when flying transatlantic on both BA and AA. You won't be able to do this on BA with American flights.
It is swings and roundabouts. Conversely, if travelling in H class , this will only accrue discount economy Status credits when accruing to QF whilst it will accrue full Tier Points to BA
The only way, imo, that a reasoned piece of advice can be given is if the OP provides details of routes and classes/fare bases he expects to be using
If a BA member, why would you even want to consider flying AA to the USA anyway
