2. CLE-SFO-OGG, 5 hr layover
3. CLE-LAX-OGG, 5 hr layover

Which would you choose? Was leaning toward ORD for dreamliner and shorter travel time, but not sure about the shorter layover and lack of alternate flight options if delayed. Also, unsure if breaking up the trip will be better for the toddler. We do have united club passes/priority pass for lounge access on layover. All thoughts appreciated!
Since you mentioned that you have UC passes, and I have been to all 3 of the mentioned UC's recently, I can tell you that LAX is the most spacious and comfortable, much less crowded (compared with ORD B6 or SFO Rotunda), and has the most extensive (albeit not gourmet or anything exciting) food options.
