A359 is too much airplane for HA. Even if you factor in growth, I still don't think they need the extra seats and the range.
A338 will have the range to reach most of the plausible/economically viable Chinese airports from HNL, and A339 will give HA meaningful capacity lift over A332 to Tokyo and Los Angeles - the only 2 place they can conceivably use a bigger airplane year-round and multiple daily without tanking yield.
My guess is HA will opt for a combination of A338 and A339. Although it is still my opinion that the best airplane for HA is 787.
