IME, 1A and 1K are the quietest non-F seats on the aircraft. If you want to sleep and/or not be disturbed, these are good seats. If you like to get up and wander once in a while, and you don't want to climb over people or have people climbing over you, you might consider 4D (lone middle seat). I got stuck 4D one time, and it turned out to be better than I expected (no one next to you).

In both cases (1A/K, 4D) you will have to store your hand luggage overhead, so if you choose 1A/K made sure you remember to grab personal items you want to use in flight before and put them where you can easily reach them to avoid climbing over the person in 1B/J.
