The LX routing via LAX sounds like a good second choice, particularly as ZRH is very convenient for my proposed excursion. Also, I gather the AA/LX connection at LAX is preferable to the AA flights via ORD, DFW and JFK.
Hold it.
In your OP you said "two 90K awards" so I assumed they were conventional, all-partner r/t AA awards. But if they are in fact OneWorld awards... forget all that nice stuff I said about LX.
