I have had problems though with extreme differences where BA said the fare was invalid half way through the trip. Still working with AA and BA on that one. Overall though AA.com is pretty good at finding the truest low fares.
aa.com isn't just more creative on pricing BA itineraries, you can also book quick connections/turnarounds that ba.com won't allow.
It's not true on every fare but aa.com is often much cheaper for BA domestic and European fares. I am typing this in the middle of a 5 segment BA domestic itinerary that I booked on aa.com for £21.50 all in.
