If you're planning any other AA travel in the next year, you might consider flying AA across the pond and signing up for the gold challenge. Flying RT MIA-ORD-LHR will get you the 5,000 required points (different than miles) while flying RT MIA-LHR will leave you a bit short.
With AA gold status, you'd be able to reserve exit rows. Once you have access to exit rows, you'll choose AA everytime you're in Y.
You might also consider getting the BA credit card (just doing that will let you get an EC account) and finding a way to get another 10,000 miles. Then you could book WT+ and upgrade to CW, which is very nice and a great deal for 25,000 miles and a WT+ fare.
