IIRC, all AA codeshares earn EQM as if you were flying on AA metal. So if you book codeshare, you will be earing EQMs.
I had this flying JFK-LAX-SYD-PER last summer. The AA codeshare was $70 more (I did that all in Y, sadly; can't afford business for leisure travel just yet) than flying QF -- but the QF fare class didn't earn EQMs (or earned them at 50%), whereas the AA fare did.
