Conclusion
If you care more about BA Avios than QR ones and have points with one of these banking partners, you can launder them with a bonus via Qatar. The beauty of the Avios partnership between these airlines.
You may have better access to Qatar awards using their own program, but BA may work better for Oneworld partners. You can compare which makes more sense (QR versus BA) and redeem from there.
There is also an option to first move to BA and then further to Iberia Plus, which usually has a lower requirement for their own long-haul flights in business.
