In their bad days, SQ is better than all of those. In their good day, with a right set of crew, SQ is simply unbeatable.
Agree with all airlines stated except EK. I used to fly SQ almost exclusive. But after my transfer, the most direct flights for me was EK.
Service level on EK is just as high (if not higher sometimes) compared to SQ. But within the A-P region I have to agree SQ is pretty good most of the time. The service level may have dropped over the last 10 years, but still pretty good. However they do tend to be quite a bit more expensive compared to others.
