I think I will have to come up with a crazy spreadsheet to work out if it's worthwhile or not, but I suspect you are right when you say to just choose flights based on price.
If you are going to be flying with family, you might investigate credit cards that give lounge access. If you end up flying star alliance due to price, you might consider crediting to asiana. 2 years to qualify for gold 40k, family pooling of miles.
I am unfamiliar with prices from your location. However, I am relatively indifferent to flying into Bangkok, Manila or Singapore. I then use a LCC to fly around the area. (I would be careful with LCC if you are traveling with a lot of luggage.)
