DL TPAC routing via JFK always yield the highest MQM and SM.

HOWEVER:
  • The NRT JFK is the first flight US bound from NRT, any hiccup on the Asia to NRT segment and you get some crazy re-route.
  • From NRT to US, JFK is the worse for US entry in terms of setup, number of passengers needed to be processed.
My choice of US port of entry base on extended family and friends' feedback is MSP, DTW or SEA, ATL and lastly JFK.
