Fascinating - I've flown 11 F products, most of them only a couple of times each, with the exception of SQ, UA, LH, and TG, on whom I've spent many miles. As a relatively rare flyer in F, I think my rankings would be as follows:
1. Qatar
=2. Emirates
=2. Lufthansa
=2. Etihad
5. Thai
=6. Korean
=6. Singapore
=6. ANA
9. Asiana
10. Jet
11. United
My first ride in Air France F is coming up later this year, so we'll see how that changes the ranking.
Lufthansa is really my go to F experience. Been so consistently excellent for me. Only weak link is that the food isn't quite at par with some of the others.
Thai has also been consistently excellent - on another day I could even rank them at the top. Food, service, that massage...
Even the much maligned United - all said and done, the bed is one of the best out there, and that's worth a lot.
Interesting that my rankings don't differ too much from yours, considering you've likely flown at least 10x what I have in each. My experiences with KE have definitely been better than yours, and I guess TG as well by the looks of it.
OP - definitely give QR F a shot, especially now that they have it on proper long-haul.
