That's been my experience as well.

If you would fly UA new C all or most of the way, then the seat is definitely better though service is inferior. I would personally opt for UA under those circumstances, but it hinges on whether you value seat quality (UA) or service quality (NH) more.
Perhaps one other small factor in UA's favor is that you might accrue more miles on UA than on another airline.
