I'd rather have BE eastbound so I can get a great sleep and arrive alert and good to tackle the day in Europe. I don't mind Y westbound since I typically stay awake the entire flight home.
And to the OP's question, I have done it on award ticket before...and will do it again on an award ticket tomorrow.
I'm with you. I can't sleep in coach, and the day after a TATL overnight in Y is horrible. Give me one of 30ABFG on a 764 westbound, and I'll be quite happy. If they got standard power outlets in those seats, I'd be very pleased with that flight.
