Straight Flush - This is the highest possible hand when only the standard pack is used, and there are no wild cards. This is also the reason that my winrate with AKs is still a lot higher than with AJs.

In all the other scenarios, it is better to have AK than AQ or lower, as our kicker is very valuable. The chance to hit a flush is already low, and it happens even less often that someone has second nut flush. And nobody can beat me anyway if I hold the A high flush in my hand. Some players might be folding lower flushes, but almost no one folds 2nd nut K high flush. That way, I can know that someone else might be holding a 2nd nut flush ( K high flush) as I don’t hold the K myself. In such a scenario, I would rather have any other ace-high flush but the AK high flush. There is one situation where having AKs is not optimal.
