I've flown SQ economy on the 747, 777-200 & 777-300. I've also flown business on their 747, 777-200, 777-300, 777-300ER and the A380.

If were were wanting to fly economy I'd certainly chose the A380 as it offers in my opinion the better overall economy class seating and would opt to sit in the upper deck..

However, if I'm going to be flying business my preference is to opt for the 777-300ER over the A380. Although they both offer the new business class seating, I prefer the 300ER. The 300ER has the same inflight entertainment system and has larger overhead lockers compared to the upper deck on the A380. The seat bins are useless as you can just about get a pillow in them.

Having said the above, giving that the OP is looking to redeem an award seat rather than paying for one, there may not be a lot of choice in what type of aircraft awards are going to available on, but with SQ, IMHO business class always trumps economy and in my experience, SQ economy trumps most other airlines economy class.
