What program to get best value for QF miles? BA/AA/CX?

I'm new to Australia (g'day). But Canadian by heart, blood, and passport. Will be doing a little bit of flying on QF (Y/B short-haul domestic, J long-haul domestic/int'l).

I'm CX Gold (through my Platinum amex), have 350k points a BA, and 12k at AA.

What's the best program to credit my QF miles? I don't think I'll get enough for any status tier, so my instinct is BA to consolidate miles. Wondering if there's anything else I should consider.

Moderator please delete - I'll use the "deciding on a oneworld partner" thread instead

If not enough for any tier, AA is generally better bang for buck, albeit not sure if any CX Gold bonuses that may tip it (despite being CX Gold myself via same path with au card).

If staying a while worth getting a QF account anyway if shopping at Woolworths and potentially for crediting deep discount tickets - min 1000pts earn on QF.
