For all practical purposes, the LHR 777 fleet (both 772 and 77W) are fully converted to club suites.

Yeah, BA is super variable, a little better at both the top and bottom ends than UA, but my last two long-haul BA flights (both 2024) were pretty mediocre, particularly the food. My sense is they've cut the catering budget this year.

It's really not. BA has a slight advantage on soft product. The Club Suite is more spacious than the Polaris seat, but they're both good seats. The biggest issue for me is that BA still flies the 380 to SFO, so that is always going to be a risk (and BA won't allow free changes off the 380 following a swap). UA would also win on lounge options at both SFO and LHR.
I'm no UA fan, but there's a pretty decent case to be made for UA here.
