US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-FlightFund Merger) - best seat on express DH3

I've been booked onto a US Airways Express flight on the CLT-RDU route (I thought this route was all mainline), and the equipment came up on my itinerary as a DH3. I looked this up on US website and it shows as a Dash-8 aircraft, but won't give me a seat map. I looked around on their website trying to find a seat map to no avail, so I'm looking for opinions for the best seat on this prop and if there is an online seat map. It's only a 45 minute flight so I'm not too worried about comfort aboard.

US Express (out of here at least) has 2 different types of Dash 8 - the older type (possibly the 100s or 200s) and the new 300 (might be Q-300 - and a 50 seater to boot). Looks like you're taking the first flight of the day back (only CLT-RDU flight that appears to be express) and here's the seat map for the Dash 8-300:

And here's the one for the regular Dash 8:

Looks like on the -300, the exit row is Row 10 (or btwn 9 & 10) on the right side, and back at Row 12 on the left (other than the exit at the front of the aircraft). Haven't flown the -300, so can't give you an idea as to best seats, etc.
