With that kind of EQD requirement, I don't know of anything that'll fit your budget. My best guess would be two LAX - HKG - AKL trips in PE on Cathay - should net you 77k EQMs and 10.3k EQDs, but will cost around $5k. Since you mentioned you're currently EXP, it'd earn around just north of 110k award miles.
