For me, the late departures out of LAX encourage me to sleep during the first half of the flights (DL 1-2-1 is nice for that part), while the day departures out of SYD encourage me to sleep the second half of the flights (VA 2-3-2 does not really bother me that much as I spend the first few hours of the flight at the bar, and then sleep afterwards).

If you take VA, try to get Row 5. And avoid Row 10 on DL.
