I personally would look to do option 1. I’ve done the red eye LAX to JFK a few times and it’s a very short flight eastwards (c4.5 hrs) so little chance of decent sleep. You’re also crossing 11 time zones from HNL to LHR which is pretty painful so a full night’s sleep in a hotel bed is your friend here.
I assume you must be doing some BA flying to get the value from your Gold membership so is it really that important to get 1500TPs from one trip? You will need 2 other BA/ IB revenue fares to qualify for Gold in addition to this trip.
The other thing to watch if you do look at DFW is BA codeshares as not all of the AA options you find connecting out of DFW will have one and you need a BA number for double tier points.
