I'd do it the other way around. I live in London and fly this route monthly.
Ex-LAX the catering is better on LX. Also, the in this direction the transit will be better in ZRH.. you can arrive and have breakfast at the fab E lounge, then walk to D soon before your flight to LHR.
If arriving at FRA, you will not be driven to the lounge or FCT. The walk from arriving at Z to B (where your LHR flight will leave from) is about 30mins, 20-25 if you know where you're going. The LHR flight will leave from a gate position so you'll need to queue with everyone else anyway.
Ex-LHR you will likely land at a remote gate in FRA so you'll be driven to FCL B or to the exit to be able to walk to the FCT. Then you'll definitely be driven to the plane. Also, the catering will be better on LH ex-FRA than out of the States.
Also, the LX41 leaves LAX later than the LH A380 which makes it preferable to me.
