KE win on service and food by a nose. DL win on seat due to all aisle access. DL schedule might be better for you are leaving ATL in the morning and be in HK around 9-10pm.
CX direct are out of SFO ORD. JFK has a stopover at YVR and BOS service starting soon on the 787.
There might be:
AF ATL CDG HKG
KL ATL AMS HKG
Isn't DL ATL-NRT-HKG still offered? There are also alternative international gateways to NRT if DL still has the NRT-HKG flight. In addition, there should be SkyTeam connections through PVG/PEK/CAN using CZ or MU for the intraAsia flights, although IMO this would be a less desirable routing due to the mainland China connections unless OP wants to spend a few days in China using TWOV.
