I flew out from AMS back to US in 2009 and thought AMS was just ok, not sure if things has changed much since...
If using AMS as my stopover, what route/connection do you suggest to take leaving SEA? Do I still have to connect via ORD/DFW? or is there a direct flight leaving SEA? and what airline/aircraft is good for first class (biz class works, if none if available)
And from AMS to TPE/ICN, which airline do you recommend?
Thanks!
I would suggest you spend some time using
sbm12's list of oneworld longhaul North Atlantic routes...

I think doing that and
looking for F trip reports on the major OW airlines in the FlyerTalk TR forum will give you good ideas for what to do. Keep in mind longhaul trips on BA will incur major fuel surcharges. You only have two choices for F TATL: AA and BA.
Keep in mind that there is
no OW airline hubbed in SEA, AMS, TPE or ICN (they are all SkyTeam or *A hubs, in some cases both). So there won't be longhaul nonstops going SEA-AMS or AMS-TPE/ICN if you travel from those cities, you'll be connecting through OW hubs like JFK, LHR, DOH and HKG.
