I notice you're already with UA as a 1P. Why not stick with UA?
LAX-ZRH would be easiest on Swiss (newly *A), LAX-GRU should be possible on RG (also *A, provided they're still around for a while), SIN is possible both non-stop and one-stop on SQ and with a connection at NRT on UA, for HKG you would have to connect at SFO (UA) or NRT (UA and/or NH). EZE can be reached on UA through IAD and ORD and RG though GRU.
It's helpful that UA does the Asian cities on its own metal - if you manage to fly enough to make 1K, you'll have some worthwhile flights to spend your SWUs on.
