Best First or Business Class seats Transatlantic?

Hi,

All too many of my recent transatlantic trips have been on Continental. If you've flown them, you know their BusinessFirst seats are pretty terrible. I have become extra spoiled by my recent trip on Singapore Airlines A380. Of the airlines who fly direct from a NY area airport (LGA, JFK and EWR are all fine) direct to Paris, who has the best seats, and on which aircraft?

I know Air France claims to have "flat beds" but they apparently recline 170 degrees, not 180, even on their new A380 service. Does anyone offer a truly flat bed? I don't believe anyone operates the A380 on this route other than Air France, but it has also been a while since I have been on a 747, so a flat bed + 747 combo would also be nice.

If no one offers a truly flat bed, what would be the top-5 airline/airframe suggestions for best seats and best service NYC to Paris. Thanks!
