Now if you talking about buying an upgrade-able ticket then use miles to upgrade it, then YMMV (Your Miles May Varies)

Welcome to Flyertalk BTW!
As ChrisLi already mentioned, for a oneway ticket its definitely good value to redeem miles and bear in mind what he also pointed out about getting back to HK which might be very costly if booking a one way return even in economy.

If you do have a need to get back to HK then maybe upgrading is a better choice...
