I'm not sure about long connections but I don't mind doing it up to 5 hours but only if I have access to the EK business class lounge at Gate 122.
As for EK's B777s, I much prefer the B777-300ERs to the A380 which takes ages to board and alight as well as the fact that they cram so many seats in the cabin without breaking the space up into smaller 'compartments'.
Although it can be slightly less quiet in terms of noise coming from the aircraft, I tend to go for the seats at the very end, where there are 2 instead of 3 in a row on both sides. Most times, I get to keep the 2 seats for myself.
