Don't know which SQ flight you have to SIN, but if you get SQ17/18 it is likely to be the A380 with the new Business Class seats, which are wonderful. The other flights are on 744s with their older Spacebeds. On those, go for the upstairs exit rows. Upstairs is also 2-2 seating rather than the 2-3-2 downstairs.

I'd also recommend *A. It can be tough to get status on BA unless you 're prepared to spend significantly.
