I prefer evening flights as the AM flight at 0555 means walking up in the middle of the night.
But if the added 9 min of connect time means less chance of misconnect, it might be worth it, assuming DTW is at least as easy as MSP is to run between gates.
I have to be at work Monday afternoon, so misconnecting is particularly dangerous.
It doesn't get any easier than connecting at DTW, but if you prefer Sunday flights go with MSP. Even if you misconnect you are at a hub needing to go to LAX. If you can't get on a nonstop on Monday morning they can route you through SLC or SEA and probably DTW and ATL for that matter. You are going to have really bad luck not getting to LAX by the afternoon on Monday.
