HNL is fine - get to see it too

How would I do via HNL - which airlines?
Should the rtn also has to be via HNL?

Irrelevant and not helpful to address OP's situation.

OP is thinking about coach - 4 tickets in F would probably not be feasible.

OP does not want to pay for 2 awards, but would love to have a stopover at HNL if no additional award is required. There are feasible options to achieve this.

Below would work, only that the availability to HNL could be an issue - 4 tickets even in coach are not easy to come by in high season. Both AA and AS have been very stinky in releasing award seats to/from Hawaii based on some checking done recently. No idea about HA's availability.
