Denver to Amsterdam on New UA - Which is Best?

I need to be in Amsterdam in early September. Because I need to be in Amsterdam relatively early in the morning, it appears that, at least for the outbound, I need to take a US carrier directly to AMS (i.e. no connection in Europe). As such, my options are as follows:

- via IAH (764; currently listed as the "old" CO 764)
- via ORD (763; appears frequently to be the reconfigured 763)
- via IAD (752)
- via EWR (752)
- US via CLT (752)

In Y (perhaps Y+), what option will afford me the most comfortable flight? My inclination is to do one of the 767 flights so as to be able to be by the window with only 1 seat next to me. How does the seat comfort and A/V on the sCO 764 (old config with personal tvs but no on-demand) compare to the sUA 763, sCO 752s, and US 752s?

Similarly, my inclination is to avoid ORD, EWR, and IAD, and fly through Houston, both to get a longer flight with a chance to sleep, well, to avoid ORD, IAD, and EWR (I have United Club membership). Does that make sense as well?

Thanks.
