My flight option is LAX-ORD-ZRH-BOM or LAX-EWR-ZRH-BOM. Veterans, please help me chose. Thanks in advance

While I try to avoid EWR as much as possible, this is one scenario when I would pick EWR. Gives you lie-flat / better seat on the 1st leg, and an open Polaris Lounge for your layover.
I am with cfischer on this one.
