Thanks.
You'll have a bit less foot traffic at 8KL during boarding, but not that much. I personally wasn't bothered by it, but if you were bothered by 8AB, you may also be bothered there. (Two main differences: A - at KL, they're already moving, as opposed to the bottleneck that happens at the door, so it may not be as bad at KL and B - you have slightly less than half the people there, unlike AB where, depending on your orientation, has either 100% of the Y pax or just over 50% of the Y pax.)
If you like the right side of the plane and you want the bulkhead and you want to avoid the foot traffic, I'd say go with 1K (larger footwell than 1L).
