Having done both, I would choose jal j vs. aa f only because a bad jal crew is still much better than a bad aa crew. I had the same option for an August trip (lax-nrt-sin). When the crew is in a "bad mood," it's horrible and you feel like a sucker for paying that kind of money IMO. Unless the aa seat is of extreme value, jal is the best bet...and you still get the same class-mileage bonus.
