Oh, no question at all that the full-flat seats beat the recliners hands-down. My absolute favorite is NZ/VS which is herringbone as well. SA was a bit hard--I felt like I was sleeping on a bookshelf, but it was still perfectly acceptable to me. To bring it back on topic, I'd put them as follows:

1. NZ/VS
2. New UA
3. SA
4. TG angle-flat (for some reason this one was better than SQ)
5. Old UA
6. EK (the recliner-style, haven't tried the lie-flats)
7. SQ angle-flat

UA really has moved up on the list ^ and I have yet to try LH or AC.
