Favorite spot to sit on 773 in BP?

Hi, sorry if this is redundant with another post (undoubtedly it is) but anyone have a favorite spot in BP on LAX-AKL? I got an upgrade on NZ5 next week. Pretty much everything in rows 9-12 is available.

I don't so much have a favourite spot, but I have favourite aisles. I'll pick B/K in preference to A/J as I sleep naturally on my right hand side so prefer to have the open space in front of me rather than facing the rear wall.

I still prefer window seats (even though there isn't much to see and looking out the window isn't easy) so tend to take a K seat in the front cabin if available. Many people do say the rear cabin is quieter.

It also matters if you are right or left handed. Especially when reaching for drinks and personal items

Thanks both. And I'm guessing that right handed more convenient in the seats that face the left side of the aircraft?

Looks like 1-8 are completely full but there is lots of availability in 9-12. I've got 9K at the moment. Any reason not to sit in the bulkhead? Not sure if there really is a bulkhead, actually.

I'd avoid second J cabin because it is where the bassinet area is, depending on the boarding air bridge you will have PE and Y passengers move pass you when boarding. Not the end of the world but I've had pax steamroll past me whilst I was storing my cabin baggage, and I was not even holding up the queue.
