With that there were only two options given to me, AA or BA and from everything I read online BA F is a far superior product to AA F. That being said, next time I'll be more than happy flying business class, it was just one of those bucket list items to fly international first class.
I'm flying into Paris on AA metal (their older 777-200 flagship first suites) and I can say for sure the BA product looks nicer in pretty much every way, but I wouldn't pay $1000 for it on top of all those miles. I'm a bit cheap though.

To lichenlt's point, Cathay, Etihad, etc all offer nicer products in terms of accomodations and service for relatively the same number of miles in first class, but you're not flying to Malaysia or Egypt so, you are limited.
