Equipment: CX (newer planes than SQ--really--and in better shape, also better equipped galleys)
Lounge at other airports: CX (by a wide margin) due to Oneworld lounges much better than Star lounges (CX/SQ lounges are equal)
Champagne: CX (Deutz Cuvee William is much better than Dom)

I think your points are generally on target - however
Equipment - I really prefer 747's - I don't like being behind the galley and having all of the noise and light from behind the curtain - being in front of the galley is MUCH better to me. Since SQ flies more 747's, that is where my preference lies. I do however appreciate that CX puts their proper first class product in the 330 (333) and 340 equipment
Out airport lounges - Agree on OW vs Star - my problem is that I don't like using a different lounge than the operating carrier since I would miss special announcements. I strongly believe that SQ out airport lounges are generally superior
Champagne - I can suggest NV options that are better than Dom - I like the Krug on SQ
