I like DTV and power, though, neither of which are available on A319/320 or non-p.s. 757-222s. Decent chance of wifi on Airbus equipment these days, which is great. sUA seat has a good headrest when you adjust it to fit.
Biggest pet peeve of the sUA birds is the close bulkhead, especially 1EF. Seems like a few inches tighter than CO walls. If you're tall and get stuck there, prepare for achy knees.
Overall, prefer 757 for biggest F cabin. Don't have a strong opinion on seats, but want to be on the airplane I'm most likely to get upgraded on.
I wouldn't say decent chance of wifi on an Airbus these days considering there are 26/152 wifi Arbii (combination of 319s and 320s).
DTV and power (73s) vs. a more relaxing seat (pmUA 757/A319/A320) are the tradeoffs. I personally like the sCO seats because I tend to work while flying and would rather be more upgright than leaning back. Also, IMO, if you're not in row 1 and the person in front of you is fully reclined they're a little too close for comfort. YMMV.
