Miles accumulation on one parter's codeshare by another partner, any ideas?
I am tempting to book a ticket marketed by AM operated by DL. I am thinking of if I should accumulated AS miles on that. What is the rule to add for these codeshare flights?

To ensure flight credit, the two letter airline code (AM) must precede the flight number (for example, AM XXXX) on your ticket receipt or boarding pass, and the ticket must be issued on AeroMexico ticket stock.
To qualify for mileage accrual, please note that your flights must fall within the eligible flight number range below and your flight must be marketed and operated by Delta.

If flying on BA J class, is it better to deposit miles in AA or AS? I have no status in either and will not in 2015. I think it's only a 25% bonus for both.
Having cattle status is painful because there was once a time that I had status is multiple airlines. Mooooo...

Arguably, it could be better to deposit in BA.
BA gives 150% of flown miles in paid J, and Avios can be cashed in for an AS or AA flight one way for as little as 4500 Avios. A round trip to Europe in J + some AA/AS flights could get you status...It all depends on where you can accrue miles- it would be stupid to let 10,000 or so miles/Avios from a paid J flight expire. AA and BA have lots of ways to accrue additional miles via credit cards (AMEX, Citibank, Chase, SPG and so on) with very lucrative offers, AS has less in the way of credit cards (just BofA and SPG), more in the way of partners. You haven't really told us anything about any travel patterns, accounts where you might have miles stashed, so any answer is incomplete without understanding that.
And being "cattle" in business class isn't so bad, compared to seat 47E squashed in the back of a widebody...
