1. SFO to SIN UA Polaris and SIN to CGK on SIA in COACH; OR
2. SFO to TPE EVA Biz and TPE to CGK on EVA in Biz.
Option 1 is a bit shorter / more efficient / better timed (SFO to TPE is at midnight vs SFO to SIN at 10.30 pm)
But, the reviews of Polaris, even on a long 17+ hour flight seem dreadful with bad food, bad service, limited amenities, etc. Can it really truly be that bad?
Normally I would always favor fastest under the theory that 'any business class should really be good enough.' But UA Polaris / Fauxlaris seems to be changing that unfortunately.
Flight on SIA SFO to SIN not an option.
If TPE is available for transit EVA wins hands down.
