I prefer etihad over emirates. That said both are good and there are very subtle variations. If you veg, ensure you pre book veg meal in either. If the flight is full, there is a possibility they run out of normal veg meals

Both are great. Etihad has the US preclearance which means that US immigration and customs will be completed in Abu Dhabi and they can simply walk out to baggage claim in the US.

This is quite helpful, especially if you don't want your parents to wait in an hour long line at the airport

Both are good. Emirates has a better business class though
