Personally, I like to treat MR more like mini vacations if possible. Some (perhaps more desirable) routes I have had my eye on:
CX PE: LAX-HKG-AKL for $1938 (~5c/eqm; ~37c/eqd)
CX PE: JFK-HKG-SGN for $1617 (~6c/eqm; ~45c/eqd)
AY J: YYZ-LHR-HEL-BKK for $2517 (~8.7c/eqm, ~52c/eqd)
JL J: YYZ-ORD/JFK-NRT-HAN for $2797 (~10.6c/eqm, ~64c/eqd) [this one is sort of expensive in my book, but I am willing to pay a premium for JL J]
