I think there is no dispute that the UA seat is MUCH better than on LH. If you want to sleep, go with UA.
For everything else, go with LH.
And if you want to stay awake and watch IFE take UA. 7" LH screen is laughable. Also when departing at least from LAX (and IIRC SFO) I'd take UA IFL over *A lounge. And if smth goes wrong i can get some travel credits out of UA.
Aside from more consistent service and meals (can't comment on wines - don't care personally) I hardly see any reason to pick LH when flying from US.

In that case, I like the LH armrest
Yeah! That's right, their armrest provided better supports when using the iPad. IIRC the UA seats armrest is adjustable, but relatively narrower then LH. And one last thing, which absolutely bugs me is the "Backwards" seating in UA. I always found it creepy.
So, I should probably say LH>>UA.
To each his own but your preferences are really out of mainstream. Nothing wrong with it but very few people would pick slanted over horizontal for example. And I have to pay to download movies to iPad while UA selection is acceptable, free and on a great screen.

While I can in some cases agree that LH F is better that UA F, it doesn't come anywhere close to "best first class products in the world".
