Also: it appears that at least SFO has some legal connections that are a bit shorter than four hours (more like two and change).
So I'd pick a set of flights that keep you off of those 752's - regardless of the airport involved. If that gets you SFO, all the better...
Thanks for the advice. I am travelling April next year (looking for award travel also for the Mrs). I usually look at long connection times, as I have to clear immigration/reclear security as a Brit, and allowing for delays out of LHR/into SFO. Though will definately look for the 767/777.
