NW doesn't fly LHR-IAD. What they are probably offering is KLM codeshare via AMS.
As for the others, it depends which class and what's important to you. VS is a 747, which some people dislike, and Y is reportedly cramped. BA is a 777, United 767 or 777.
My preference would be the 767, specially if you are in Y (2-3-2 is a better config than the others.)
YMMV of course.

320, If time of arrival /jet lag is a factor plz remember that UA/BA fly this route 4 times per day. VS flies it 1 per day.UAs early morning departure ( 8am) in generally empty, loads of room to spread out. The 9 am return from IAD is equally as empty. Both are flown with B767 aircraft.

If in anything other than Y, then the choice is simpler, I would suggest.
If in Y, my only reaction to the 2-3-2 of '6' is to say that the '6' never seems to have enough lavatories and I try to avoid the '6' for long haul.
If I have to be in Y, my choice is to always try and take a daylight, out and back. Then you do not have to try and sleep in the small seat. I would take a daylight in a '6' to a night in a '4'.
Although they take up a day, you arrive home in the early evening, having worked and read on the flight, ready for a meal, a drink and bed.
