Haven't flown to Australia in nearly 30 years!
Narrowed down to the following:
DCA-IAH-SYD connecting to MEL on QF, all one ticket -- like departing DCA over IAD and the earlier IAH departure compared to LAX
IAD-LAX-MEL -- would rather avoid the late departure from LAX
Return also looking at SYD-IAH-DCA -- so much nice arriving at DCA even if it might be an E175
SYD-SFO-IAD
Rather avoid SYD-LAX-IAD since it arrives at TBIT

Easy and safe connection

What is the main criteria?
Price?
Schedule?
Long segments on UA?
You may do better looking for DCA/IAD-SYD return or DCA/IAD-MEL return with a separate Aust domestic ticket as needed
