Transiting through LAX During COVID-19 Pandemic

My partner and I are returning to AUS from AKL via LAX in mid Jan after waiting out much of the pandemic in NZ. No choice but to return so we're naturally a bit paranoid compared to folks who have had to deal with it every day. What's the best way to get to AUS via LAX? ANZ flight arrives around 1 pm so no direct flights possible. We are *G, flying in J.
1. Fly on United to IAH; drive from there.
2. Take a DL flight at 6.30 pm (but will likely have to take six suitcases clear across LAX from TBIT to T2. Also, no lounge access)
3. End flight at LAX; drive from there to AUS (25 hrs of nonstop driving! Also, potential breach of quarantine regs?)
4. Spend night in LA; fly direct to AUS next am.

Any suggestions?
