You should be more afraid of driving. It's far more likely to kill you than flying. That said, the airline and the plane make a huge difference in how unpleasant the experience is, especially on a long flight like that. Get a flight on the newest, biggest plane you can. I doubt there are many intercontinental flights on anything less than a 777 these days. My best flights have been Continental, JAL, and Asiana. The worst: United. Oh yeah, and if you can't find a decent airline that goes all the way from Houston to your destination directly, it may be worth it to get a connecting flight. If you can just get the longest leg on a comfortable plane, you still get rid of most of the pain. Ideally, you'll be able to sleep on the plane, so nothing will really matter much except leg room. (That matters more if you're sleeping, as I found out the hard waywhen I got off my last trans-pacific flight this month...KAL. My ankle is still not recovered.)

To Asia you have great airlines. China Airlines(Taiwan) or Continental from Houston. And connecting in Los Angeles, Singapore Airlines, Japan Airlines, Asiana(Korea), Eva Air(Taiwan) and All Nippon Airways. Asiana and Korean Air have showed interest in flying into Houston. Try to avoid any chinese airlines.
