Get the aircraft with international business class seats: NW from MSP-HNL, or CO EWR-HNL - I can't cite other CO routes. Other aircraft have domestic first seats with much, much less room.
But those CO and NW seats are going to be tough to get because of demand. Award availability against your schedule flexibility will matter a lot.

Does DL has a BE product to HNL? Isn't general concensus that the best soft-product is CO EWR-HNL (767), and the best hard-product is NW MSP-HNL (A330)? CO also has an IAH-HNL (767).
Given the option, I'd take NW, for the A330 AVOD. And there is no option that you should take premium cabin, as most people forget how far HNL is... MSP-HNL is further then MSP-LHR. Any flight that long demands a premium seat.

CO is the way to go, DL is the 767-4 with the normal FC seats that are terrible.
I had a comfortable sleep in the BF product, even though it is outdated, and the food was terrific, including the ice cream sundae.
