LHR-SFO - Best strategy for SWU to First?

hi all--I'm planning to fly back from LHR to SFO this summer, and trying to decide on optimal routing on american metal. I'm planning on purchasing a biz special fare and using a SWU to get to first.

Basically, I'm trying to decide between two strategies:

1) maximize my time in Int'l First, and just "deal" with domestic first, e.g., LHR-LAX-SFO, or

2) connect through JFK, with a shorter Int'l First section, but picking up AFS F on a 762 all the way back to SFO.

thoughts?
