Thanks for all the comments everyone.

Definitely seems like there's preference either way depending on personal opinions.
Regarding the departure times, either way, not a big deal for me.

The meal time/count aspect is interesting, never considered that before.

So to make sure I understand:
1) SQ37 is 2 meals, 1 at take-off and 1 at 2/3 of the way there?
2) SQ11 is 1 meal at take-off for SIN-NRT, and another at take-off for NRT-LAX?

Personally the reason why I'm debating is I'm not sure I want to sit in a seat for 16 hours, especially when it sounds like the seats are exactly the most comfortable.
But I'm also a bit torn on whether I want to do a 7 hour leg + 9 hour leg, due to the disruption in sleep.

Decisions, decisions.
