I flew over to LAX in mid-April and returned in mid-May... awesome experience both ways. The food was great, the IFE is world class (and as much as I am a KrisFlyer fan, the sheer responsiveness and ease of use of V Australia's system is so refreshing), the seats are comfortable but most importantly the crew are impeccably friendly and attentive. The huge thing you notice is that the crew who are on duty during the night do not hide away in the galleys and maintain a positive attitude without exception... it's the attitude of people who love their jobs. You can't go for a wander around the cabin at any time without at least one crew member at least saying hello, but more likely than not will casually ask how you're going. If there was anything on your mind that you needed, you wouldn't have the slightest problem finding someone to ask. Even the little things are thought of - such as distributing the USB powered lights to people who are reading and getting them to turn their overhead lights off, which makes for a nice dark cabin if you want to try to sleep.
Unless you're one of those people who just hates the whole DJ style, the choice across the Pacific is a complete no-brainer. The one and only thing they could possibly do better would be to have the good old hot towels. QF would have to be significantly cheaper to make me consider them on this route.
