Best bet: pick a window on the left. If there are still seats on the right and LGA is using 13 (check current lga traffic: http://www4.passur.com/lga.html) and the weather forecast doesn't have a significant change in wind forecast, then change seats to the right.
First time in a long time that we got the river visual to 13 and fate had put Franny in a right side window. DL had swapped in equipment at CVG from a 738 to an M90 and had sent her back to 3D from her regular left window 1A. The flight was about three hours late (as everything was yesterday) and I was asleep in 3C.
