Personally, for LHR - LAX, I choose BA269 (currently the A380 service). Not for that specific aircraft type per se (although I do find it quiet and comfortable) but because of the arrival time in LA.

The 269 departs LHR late afternoon and lands at 19.50. Factoring in immigration, taxi to hotel, quick bite to eat/drink and it’s time for an early night and a decent sleep and ready to go the next day.

The 747 service lands at 3pm and the 787 at 5pm. The 2 AA flights typically land at 4pm and 6pm approx. Do you want to force yourself & kids to stay awake for a few hours after arrival to avoid jet lag and the 4am rise the next day?
