SQ (A380-800) J vs. OZ (747-200) F

I know I'm posting in the SQ forum, so you may be bias, but I'd like some honest opinions.

Which would be better: F on OZ or J on the SQ388?

I'm moving this to the *A forum where you may get a better opinion between the 2 airlines there ..

Thanks

Another vote for OZ. I even prefer OZ F over SQ F (both 777 and 747).

This.

You're comparing C and F here... there is no contest.

CA and UA F are roughly equal, imo. (not a good thing, just saying)

I would say F on CA 77W is better than UA F.

What route(s) are you flying? AFAIK, there are no routes where SQ A380 and OZ 747 both fly.

Also, OZ only has 747-400, not 747-200.

Agree with others however, F is F, J is not F, so take OZ, assuming the price/routing/schedule is reasonable. (Also, I'm not a huge fan of the SQ cubicles.)
