9W have a herringbone configuration (as per VS), whereas BA have the forwards/backwards combo (plus a pair of seats in each row that face backwards together). This is much more family-friendly, and the reason we never flew VS or 9W on the BOM-LHR route. If you're flying solo, then the herringbone config is probably more private (altho BA's window seats are pretty secluded too) but as all the family travel is on BA, so are my solo trips...

Regarding the quality of seating, BA have recently upgraded their long haul J class seats and all aircraft plying the Indian routes have it.For more detail on the new Club world seats (aka NGCW), head ove to the BA board and read one of the stickies there.
