I have broken flights SYD-LAX in HNL quite a few times both in oneworld and *A.
LAX-HNL-SYD gives you 290SCs (because the LAX-HNL bit books into A class) and LAX-AKL-SYD give you 220 compared to 180SCs LAX-SYD direct. So quite a big difference.
The 767 QF uses is okay. You get PJs on SYD-HNL and the usual full service minus the PJs on the way back.
AA uses different versions of their 767s on this route IIRC. If you are lucky, you will get one with lie flat seats but with the entertainment unit taken out. One of the nicest domestic planes I have ever been on.
If you are unlucky it will just be a standard domestic F seat without much excitement.
