LX, absolute no brainer.

Food: LX (although an advantage of TG is you can pre-order so you get the exact dish you would like)
Service: LX because it is consistently excellent whereas TG can be inconsistent however when it is good (which IME is most the time) then FA's are much warmer and friendlier than LX FA's and still maintain a high quality of service.
IFE: Similar
Champagne: TG for the Dom
Ground services: TG by a long shot however I would choose LX if departing ZRH because I get access to the LX F lounge (whereas TG F pax only have access to the crappy SEN lounge)
Overall I would say if you are departing from ZRH then take LX and if you are departing from BKK take TG ^
Resonable comparison, but the bubbles on LX are pretty decent, and at least you know they'll have enough for the journey, unlike TG which is hit and miss. Two bottles loaded for (ironically enough) ZRH-BKK a few weeks ago.
Ground service, well clearly LX at ZRH and TG have the edge at BKK but if tranistting to ZRH-BKK on LX ground staff will also meet you at the gate and take you on a buggy to the lounge. A few months ago I arrived early afternoon on SQ from SIN and despite it being 10 hours to the LX flight ground staff were waiting at the gate and I got a buggy to immigration and through the same diplomatic channel as arriving TG F pax. They use the same ground services company as LH and OS with the staff in light blue suits and red shoes.
If checking in at BKK they will escort you through as well although they can't use TG exclusive channel and you can't use the Spa but as you will already have been in Bangkok you have access to a plethora of much better Spas anyway so no need to get there any earlier to use the one at BKK.

Pleased to hear you have recently had the chance to try LX, as I seem to recall you previously thought they flew via VIE.
LX is also a night flight ex-BKK BTW...
