To be honest, I would let the sun dictate where you sit (so I would sit on the left (A) for both flghts). That way you won't be staring into the sun when you look out the window.

With those flight times, it's a roll of the dice whether everything will be covered in fog anyway, although seeing bits of SF and the bay area topography peeking through the fog like islands is pretty spectacular, too...
