If you check the new business class thread you'll see that out of FRA your best bet for new C is to fly on an A343, or to fly on a B748.
So if you are OK with connecting in IAD, ORD, or LAX you could enjoy the new B748 and then connect with UA for a short-ish flight to DEN.

You can check if the plane operated on the FRA-DEN route has the new business or first class installed here
business class
first class
Looking at a random date in Oktober, it looks like neither F or J class is outfitted with the latest one LH is offering.

I'm considering DEN-FRA connecting through either SFO or LAX. I notice that there are a couple of flights on United with potentially better times for me. Ticket will be purchased on Z class and I'm a 1K:
1. If I take my chances with United Z (hoping to get uograded to First) I understand I can't use a Global upgrade to First with Z. Am I at least eligible for a complementary upgrade based on availability? Do they fill three cabin first with complementary upgrades or do they do this differently than for two-cabin domestic?
2. Would you take Lufthansa Business Class on a new double-decker or United First in a 777 (definitely don't want to do United Business on a 777!)

1. No 'complementary' upgrades on LH. If you buy full J ex the US you get an upgrade to F(O) at the time of booking. Contact your TA for that. The F seating on 744 flights operated as two class is sold at 700$ a seat at the time of booking and may be available for free when you check in. You can ask, but chances are slim.
2. LH C on a 748i is better than UA C, but slightly below the UA F product.

What in the world is a 747-800??? Can someone define the difference between the 747-8i and 747-800? I must have been living in a cave during the -800's inaugural.
for good measure.....
