P.S. it would be interesting to set up a poll on this subject
Delta uses its Business Elite product on the LAX - JFK route, it's also much more frequent than Virgin America. Virgin America has some nifty modern features but the Business Elite is really good. It's basically international business class. You will also get access to the Skyclub in both LAX and JFK as well as priority security clearance.
