Assuming you're not in one of the two middle seats in the 4 pack, I think I definitely take the UA seat over the DL one (comparing hard product only).
I recognize the DL 764s are the better staggered style.
I think on UA its widely varied at this point. The PM IPTE 763 is great in F or J, the 772/744 is great other than the middle seats.. The new CO equipped 763 however has J seats that are 21" wide and only (because the foot well is so small) effectively about 5'10" to 6' long in all rows except row 1. It was the worst seat I think I have been in recently. I'll take any DL or AA plane, or even an old UA cradle seat over the ***** seat UA has decided is ok in "business first" on redone763s.
What concerns me is the direction, and on DL its good, on UA it is bad.
