LX F is genuinely superb and ZRH F Lounge at E gates is one of my favourites. Only flown LH F once, and via MUC. The two MUC F lounges are also very good, and LH F soft product is brilliant, even if the hard product is a bit dated..
AI F is a major hit or miss, but they do really excel in the service side of things in my opinion. There's a thread in this forum with experiences in AI F, including a few reviews of F on the new Etihad aircraft. I would say that in terms of hard product, AI F ex Etihad planes is better than both LX and LH, but older aircraft product is lackluster (though this assumes your seat and all features are working perfectly).
