Singapore every time. Especially if you are in Economy. Especially especially if you can get the A380 which is by far the best experience in Y that I know. Done this trip at least 8 times return. Price difference for Singapore can be much larger. So if it's small, grab it. You won't regret it.
Others fly on the A380 with Emirates - heard good feedback on this. Some people tell me Malaysian not too bad but I'm very unsure about Economy on them.

Thanks for the input so far.
I know airlines are basically a matter of personal preference but I'm overwhelmed with choice all at the same price point. Flights are all within $100 of one another on Qantas, Emirates, Etihad, Virgin, Singapore, Thai, Malaysian, and Air NZ. Would you say any of these are better than the other? I've flown QF on this route before on the A380 and found it pretty good except the cabin was extremely warm for the last 1/3 of the flight. I'm intrigued with the idea of flying Air NZ via the USA, I found them great a few years ago on a trans pac flight and ended up on a sky couch seat at no extra cost but have heard quality has declined recently. I've never flown Singapore before so I'd quite like to try them out but should I just stick with what I know?
