FRA-LHR-LAS it is - 62A. 
On the return it is LAS-ORD-LHR-FRA. The BA LAS-LHR flight leaves rather late, with the extra leg via ORD I'll get into FRA in the morning. Hoping I'll be able to MFU.
Only downside is that apparently the US domestic segment gives only 40 TP. Wasn't this always 60?
Is there any way to select a seat on AA?

I think that because it is a BA CW booking the LAS-ORD books into BA buiness ( 40 tps) rather than AA First ( 60 tps) but you will be in the F cabin.
When I booked LHR-LAX-LAS ( LAX-LAS on AA) when I went into MMB I was allocated 6A ( I prefer to be in the front row but for 45mins I'm easy)

Was just on the phone with BA and the agent said she could not assign a seat on the AA leg of the trip. Tried to do it myself on the AA site and it claimed it couldn't find my booking (have the ticket number, so it is issued).

Do you have the AA record locator? BA can give it to you.

I have two options for an upcoming trip and was wondering what the experts on here would recommend:
Either
BA FRA-LHR-LAS in J
or
AA FRA-DFW-LAS in J
I'm fairly familiar with the BA product but only had one experience on AA domestic Y (been trying very hard to forget it). I assume the AA domestic legs would book in F? Any difference in tier points on the two routes?
