I flew Emirates A380 back from Auckland to Sydney last year and they were great. Admittedly it's only a short flight but the service was excellent and we still got served a five course meal in economy in the short time we were with them. We had our IFE system fail in the area we were sitting but they rebooted it fairly quickly.
You don't have to join skywards to manage your seat request...you can do it from the website after you've made the booking. Then again, why wouldn't you join up and pick up the frequent flyer miles? You do however have to fly four legs with emirates before they'll issue you with a card...otherwise they just issue you with a number to use for bookings.
