TL;DR

Oneworld is the strongest alliance for premium-cabin redemptions out of London, Doha, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. Sweet spots: Qatar Qsuite from Doha, Cathay first/business out of HKG, BA short-haul from 4,000 Avios, and Iberia off-peak business to Madrid. Avios moves freely between BA, Qatar, Iberia, and Aer Lingus — so you can pool the cheapest currency for any seat.
