Both of these are good points.
OP, the seats in the last row of these aircraft may not recline all the way due to the presence of the bulkhead. If legroom isn't much of an issue for you, front-row window is often best because it's away from the galley light, and you can climb out without disturbing your neighbor (or get disturbed by someone in the window seat).
