I'm flying outbound on A330 on "S" class (premium economy). Currently, prior to online check in, I was able to see three seats available:

1) bulkhead window
2) bulkhead aisle on center row (left side)
3) middle seat on 3rd and last row of Economy Premium.

Which should I choose and why? I heard that on 777 the first row was bad, due to no foot rest and lack of places to put things... is the same true for A330? Should I choose #3 for now and hope something better opens up for online check in, or #1?

On return flight, I'm on 747 UD. Miraculously I was able to select UD seat 68C. (there were several choices available, but obviously row 65 was not one of them . I did have the option of picking 60C. If all is open, besides row 65, which should I choose? 68C fine, as its close to stairs/deplane? or row 60C or 60A if it opens up?

Last but not lease, on connecting flights, I have Embraer 190. Being that on outbound I am on Premium Economy, I saw that for the connection I have "W" class. Does that mean I will get "front seats" or regular economy seats?

Thanks again for all replies, much appreciated.
- long haul PE: front row sides should also be bassinet seats. I personally don't mind baby neighbours but I know many people do so if you are one of them you probably shouldn't choose that.

- long haul Y 744: both fine, personal taste (bulkhead, noone reclines onto you but seats slighly narrower and armrests fixed so even if there is noone in the middle seat you can 'expand your space'.

- short haul E90: you should be towards the front but will be able to choose your seat at OLCI anyway.
