I personally prefer window Apex Suites, and the JAL lounges are better at HND, especially with Oneworld Emerald, I also find loyalty and mileage accumulation better on OW than *A programs. But that's just my preference, you can't really go wrong with either.
My worldview is that I'd go for the more consistent product anyways because you don't want to get your hopes up, get plane swapped and then get upset.
