IIRC HagbardViking has an award comparison chart across (some) *A FFPs [is there a link in the OP?]. However, it usually isn't that simple as each FFP has it's own rules about routing (what is allowed on one FFP may not be on another), some FFPs are zone based while others mileage based, some discriminate by airline, some have regular specials, some (eg UA MP) have much less availability (no good having cheap awards if you can hardly redeem), etc.
