Either way, looks like I'm sticking with NH, or should I do UA?

My final destination is NET. Either way, I have to connect. I can't confirm an upgrade in the NH JFK flight.

B fare on NH costs less than H fare on UA... around $1800, which is not too bad compared to what B class goes on most other *A carriers. The only thing that kinda worries me is that NH doesn't consider B to be a full fare class, only Y and E.

Much more fun at ICN when you arrive. Nice shower and computer set up. Much better shopping. Food is acceptable in the lounge. The service in C on OZ is wonderful. Always with a smile, and Johnny on the spot.
Last time I flew NH was several years ago, so I can't make a fair comparison.
As for UA, don't even think about it.

I would pick OZ over NH any time in C. NH most probably will have the better IFE but OZ will have better service. The only time I would not pick OZ over NH is when OZ has scheduled their only non renovated 747 which has a business class from the early 1990s.

If you would fly UA new C all or most of the way, then the seat is definitely better though service is inferior. I would personally opt for UA under those circumstances, but it hinges on whether you value seat quality (UA) or service quality (NH) more.
Perhaps one other small factor in UA's favor is that you might accrue more miles on UA than on another airline.
