In short it's close, I would probably take the most direct flight. In OW I would only go out of my way to sample CX and LA F (pre recent changes). Use of the BA lounges and spa would swing it to BA ex-LHR. Mileage earning and being on "home turf" as an EXP would swing it to AA.

Flying AA F I twice ended up in old F instead of Flagship Suite and this is really worse than BA J. The "bed" is really very hard on the back and there is very little privacy. Flagship Suite is certainly very comfortable. Service is similar in BA J and AA F IMO. And I never had any problems with BA being AA Paltinum even going into BA lounges when flying AA. I did this at least twice, once in MIA and at least once in LHR. In both places there are even different terminals for AA and BA.

BA hands down. From the in-flight service to comfort BA is way better than AA.
For points book AA from USA to YYZ or YVR or YUL >LHR> YYZ or YVR or YYZ > back to USA. I have found fares cheaper than sold in the USA. This is true especially from SEA to LHR.
