There's no such non-stop. With a stop in LAX, yes. But if you start allowing connections, then for instance PER-DFW would be longer (10,000+ miles).
The longest non-stop flight is SYD-DFW, but certainly not the cheapest.
OP is asking an essentially impossible question, by stipulating two competing criteria without specifying a way to combine them - is it cents/mile, or what?

The exCAI fares have been around for a long time (prior to QR joining OW). Most of the west coast US locations are the same price or you can go further for slightly better EQP. Roundtrips bring the cent/point down as they are only about $1,000 more than the oneway. Booking to anywhere besides a QR destination requires a TA as QR.com and other OTAs crap out. Use ITA and contact a TA, I booked via FT member Sykes.
