Choice of carrier, SFO-CDG, Bus class?

Reasonably priced one-stop Bus Class flights from San Francisco to Paris
seem to be available on Continental (via Newark), NWA (via Minneapolis),
and US Airways (via Philadelphia).

Any good reasons to prefer (or down-rank) any of these carriers relative
to the others?

Thanks for any advice.

[There's also British Airways, but I've sworn a vow never to make any
connection through Heathrow ever again.]

The obvious choice is Air France. Their J class product is very good:
in some ways better than anything available, at any price, from a US-
registered carrier.

Which aircraft are they flying. Try to avoid any carrier flying the
A340, it's terrible.

BA usually flies 747s and 777s on international routes.

What's so terrible about the A340? I flew SEA-CPH on an SAS A340 last
year, and didn't find it terrible at all; cattle-car class on the A340
wasn't worse than, say Austrian Airlines' 777 flying VIE-IAD.

The economics of the A340 are awful, but that's not evident to
passengers. The interiors are entirely up to the airline. I've flown
on A340 on AC and LH, both of which were perfectly acceptable.
