OK the facilities might get stretched in the morning rush hours, but still ...

I did BA F and LH F last month (twice) and both times had new F on BA. I then was on the A380 on LH between SIN and FRA.
I couldn't really fault BA F - although I do think 14 in the nose section of a 747 is too much. Food was mediocre but service was good. IFE is/was very average.
The A380 on LH was in another league. Your own private locker, enormous bathrooms, I had no issue with the spaciousness of the cabin and the seats (and general cabin fit and finish) was superb. Best nights sleep I've had on a plane in a long time. Food and wine most excellent. IFE though was very average in terms of quantity of programs (but I am biased and used to EK's IFE )
And I agree, the FCT is my favourite lounge. Ever.
I like the look of BA's F product on their new A380. I hope they build bigger bathrooms though...

I would suggest LH F, its more spacious as others said. Service would be what you can expect from a German, efficient. But maybe lack bit of friendliness if that is what you consider important as well.
Food wise, I would say LH just ahead of BA cause of its choices, although quantity really depends on what you choose, but avoid beef on BA on all cause.
