Both are very good products and have their advantages and disadvantages.
I would recommend to try both and decide for yourself. The LH F on the A380 with the huge bathrooms is something to be experienced.
My experience would be that both have good service, but the likelyhood of getting subpar service (especially if you are not Swiss) is higher on LX than on LH, i.e. if in doubt I would take LH over LX.

What city are you starting from?
I would prefer to try one of each. I have always been happy in LH F, but have not flown LX F. I believe the SIN route is a 777, which has their newest F product. I would avoid the rather old F seat if it happens to be a LX A340 (reviews vary). The LH seat is good no matter the plane.
FRA is not a great airport to connect in, but the FCT is great. You can use the FCL if you prefer, but many here like the make the somewhat longer walk to the FCT.

I would probably go for DUB-ZRH-SIN(LX)/SIN-FRA-DUB(LH). Always fun to try both, and as I understand, LX can be weird about lounge access in cases other than immediately before departure in actual LX F.

For me the catering is far superior ex ZRH on LX, inbound I prefer the A380 with LH as catered ex SIN not much difference

I thought about LX and LH but I think Im going to go with LH as I have never been in the FCT. I have 6+ hours connection so I presume Im guaranteed to be allowed into FCT.
I dont want to hijack this thread as theres one devoted to FCT but on the return I will be flying FRA - DUB J, can I use the FCL as I will be coming off an F flight, or not?

I went to book my flights and LH had increased one sector by €1,500 . So Im going to reschedule by a day and go out with LX and in with LH. The LX segment requires an 8 hour layover in ZRH. What F lounge should I use and I assume there are no time limits.
Hopefully I wont be bored!

Get out of the airport and go have a look around Zurich.
The city is a short hop on the train or tram.

I have spent longer in the ZRH FCL. After an overnight flight (I can't sleep more than a couple of hours on a plane even in F ) I'm happy to have a shower and take a nap in one of the "hotel" bedrooms followed by a nice a la carte meal in the restaurant before my connecting flight. As far as I know there are no time limits to your stay in the FCL.
