Needing opinions on flight redemption from CGK>US

Okay, so I am in need of some feedback in regards to my routing on an upcoming F award flight...

I need to get from CGK to somewhere in the US and having a window of +/- 3 days with regards to getting back. I need to get to LAX but don't mind flying into JFK, IAH, or SFO but obviously prefer the Suites on the A380 (LAX or JFK). I currently am waitlisted on a few separate days for CGK>SIN>FRA>JFK, CGK>SIN>NRT>LAX, and CGK>SIN>ICN>SFO.

I really like the timing of the LAX and JFK routing but not sure if my waitlist will go through since I am about 6 weeks out or so BUT have found open availability on the CGK>SIN>DME>IAH route on a few various days that would work perfectly although it being on the 777 300 I have yet to try the plane with SQ whereas I flew the suites on the a380 from LAX to SIN last month as well as having heard "no so great" reviews on DME route.

So I would like your thoughts on what you might do or recommend, whether I try to wait it out, wait a few weeks to see if I clear and then book the open DME route, or just book the DME route. I keep checking EF and see about 6-8 open F seats on the days and routes I am waitlisted on the a380 but can't be for sure. Anyways, any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
