Oh, one other consideration popped into my head. If you’re bronze then booking through AA gives you immediate seat choice, regardless who’s plane you’re flying on, while booking the same flights with BA would only give you free seat selection 7 days out. Another marginal difference but might swing your decision making.
On my recent itinerary, booked with BA but operated by AA, even as Blue I had free seat selection from the time of booking.
