If it suits you, PE on AF offers sweet spot on MQM and MQD earning, but try to route on A350 or 787 (SGN may be 777 only) as other AF seats are widely panned.
If booking the China Airlines (CI) flight OP should check prices direct through the CI website. Often their cheap fares will have plating restrictions that preclude DL from selling them. Also, the CI marketed flights will pay better RDM/MQD than the same flight with a DL flight number.
Connection in TPE are still very easy,. One does need to keep an eye out though.
