Whilst BA may not be quite what it was, there is still a gulf between the service standard on BA and US based carriers... but I agree Lufty would provide an excellent service.
The bottom line is that the risk of flying a US based carrier is too great. You are likely to face significant delay's in their fortress hubs, particularly during peak times. If things go wrong you will face woefully inadequate standards of customer service with little or no regulation to support you. In addition, you are faced with the bereaucratic nightmare of the immigration and homeland security rules. I would never choose to travel and particularly transit, with a US based airline unless there was no choice. They are sometimes the cheapest, but they are NEVER the best value.
