Sorry to have to say it but: Do. A. Search.
Plenty of comparisons of various F and J products on this board.
But to help out in the meantime
:
Overall: CX. Service. Wine. Food.
Bed: BA. Prefer it for tall people (me). But CX is comfortable.
Bathroom: QF. Very large. Easy to change into pj.
I say go with CX.

I find the CX bed in F to be much better than the BA bed in F. If you like the BA type of bed, then QF has the next generation of that seat, making for a significantly better F bed than BA currently has. Both QF and CX have a lot better food than BA. The primary BA advantage over CX is the BA Arrivals lounge at LHR (and MB spa upon departure for the LHR-HKG leg). Unlike BA, CX makes its lounges available for BA pax, so doesn't have any advantage over BA (somehow I don't think CX is worried, their F service is so much better than BA that it really isn't a contest).

I merely wanted to know the preference of Flyertalk travellers when flying this route.
