Congrats on the Ag card!

The 789s also serve the SFO route, so you could go LHR-SFO-LAX and get the best of both. Although remember there's never any guarantee that you'll be on a 789 until you're actually on the plane - it's been said before but I wouldn't book a route based solely on the type of aircraft as this can always change at any time.

Personally I'd go direct. Even though I treat the journey as part of the holiday, the less time I spend hanging around airports, (Club House excepted) the better.
And if the likely plane for the direct route is the Dreamliner, I take it for the experience.

Another vote for the Dreamliner - it is fab-u-lous!!
