This is obviously too late, but having flown all of UA, QF, AC and Virgin trans Pacific in past few months, I would rank them
1) QF in A380 - for allover experience (but costly)
2) Air Canada and Virgin equal (Virgin better on price)
3) QF in 747 (even with reconfigured seats)
3) UA about 10th.
Virgin seat pitch means you can always get past neighbouring passenger without hassle.
But AC will give you a pretty good run.
