Superior long haul J + US domestic Y or inferior long haul J and no domestic US?

[dajop]

Ok, here'a a question for those who travel frequently to US.

If given a choice between:
- Superior (IMHO one of the best in the sky) long haul fully flat J product from SIN to LAX or SFO (on either CX or SQ) + 3 hr domestic Y flight, or
- Angled flat (JL & AA) long haul J (not on their new 77Ws) with no domestic flight at all

Which would you choose? I have done AA J a couple of times, not that impressed, but love both CX and SQ service & hard products. Usually, when travelling to US I need to travel to a non-international port, so it's easy to pick CX or SQ. This time, I'm tempted to tolerate the inferior long haul product to avoid the domestic leg and eliminate one stop. Also YUPs/discounted F are not accessible by TA.

Definitely Superior long haul J plus Y domestic (especially if you fly VX for domestic leg, pretty painless). Angled J long haul = uggh

I'd rather avoid a domestic connection if I can however those aren't easy choices... Could you fly into SFO and get VX on the same ticket? That would be a nicer connection than LAX and relatively comfy domestic flight. SQ has an interline (or even code share) agreement with VX IIRC. You may even score the new SQ J since SFO is a 77W port.
