BA J has a flat bed which is great if you are 5' 10" or shorter, less great if you are taller than that (the bed is short and skinny, but flat and horizontal). AY has better food and wine, a very comfortable seat but not a bed (so snoozing rather than sleeping). So tall, hungry and/or thirsty people should fly AY, sleepy ones should be on BA.
