Depends on what you are after. Award flights, status, lounge access? I normally would stick to the airline you actually fly the most. Q class only gives you 25% of actual miles flown at BA, AA and QF so it will be difficult to get to any meaningful level of miles for an award ticket.
The other issue to consider is credit cards. For many of us miles / points come more from Credit Cards than from flying. So again depending on what other earning options you have you might chose your program accordingly.
Be aware that BA and QF (and maybe other OW programs) require you to fly at least 4 flights with them per year to keep status.
