The OP was asking about BEAC vs QF and I think QF is still the easiest even in Y-. But you are right, among all OW programs others might be better when flying SYD-MEL on $99 tickets all the time.

FWIW, the only reason I still credit to QF is lifetime status.
It is actually very likely. I had a non optimized DONE4 with almost 2000SCs this year and I am on another one at the moment which has more than 2100SCs.
So lifetime status keeps me going as well.

The answer is:

syd-nrt-del-nrt-cgk-nrt-jfk-dfw-anc-dfw-jfk-lax-lhr-mct-lhr-nrt-syd

16 segments, 61095 miles and 2100SCs. WP+PG. The transcon USA can't have business class so you might need to play around with this.
