First RTW - Any Advice?

Hi All - I'm going on my first RTW trip in May on a OneWorld Global Explorer fare in J. Here is my itineary:

AA: JFK-LAX-OGG
QF: HNL-SYD
LAN: SYD-AUK
AUK-SYD (LAN) - SYD-CNS (QF)
QF: CNS-BNE-SIN
CX: SIN-HKG
CX: HKG-DBX
BA: DBX-LHR
BA: LHR-JFK

Some questions:
- Would you suggest AA for the LHR-JFK leg over BA on AA's new 777s? I've never flown this route on either carrier, however from what I can tell on SeatGuru AA has the better seat.
- I decided on LAN for the SYD-AUK-SYD legs due to the plane (A340) vs. QF 737. Is LAN a decent choice? From what I can see in the LAN forum, there's many complaints. I've never flown them.

Any other general advice on the routing would also be appreciated. Thanks all!
