The SJU, while clever, involves a redeye, which I don't do.

I'd be a litte worried about the connection LAX-SFO-JFK, since the short hops are the ones they like to delay when there are ATC probs in SFO. I wouldn't worry so much about it coming back the other way. Why don't you just schedule a longer layover in SFO - the executive center there is very quiet, and it's ideal for working during a layover.
