I'd strongly recommend HNL. It's a very pleasant immigration experience (and much less likely to get hassled, important considering how advanced your wife will be). It has lots of open space and seating, even out in fresh air.

HA J is great for couples. And the UA 767 will be one of the better ways to get from HNL to DC.

Avoid LAX at all costs. I'd even say a SYD-HNL-SEA-DC routing would be preferable to any LAX experience. Even if you can preboard at LAX, you may have to wade through incredible gate crowds or stand for long periods.
