My first choice would be Cathay connecting either through YYZ, YVR, SFO or LAX. A word of warning, on the flight from YVR to HKG there is only supper served (plus breakfast) since the flight departs at 1am (correct me someone if I'm mistaken on this one) as the dinner is served on the NYC-YVR leg.
Other options would be AA or JAL through NRT but neither is comparable to CX as far as service and comfort goes.
