Would it be better to book a business class award with the hope of upgrading to first apartments on the A380 out of JFK or book a guaranteed first suites award on the B787 out of IAD? Is there a huge difference between A380 and B787 First Class?

The difference is massive between the A380 and the 787. AA does not charge a change fee as long as you keep the origin and destination the same/upgrading your award so I would book the award you would be okay flying and then just change if you see availability.

As Gaurav said very large difference. EY787 F is a good and solid F product, but not even close to the EY A380.

Agree with the above. Just make sure you are booked on the A380 out of JFK and not the Jet Airways aircraft.
